Known cause
Prevalence of PFO is three times more common in cryptogenic
stroke than stroke of known causes6
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is the most common
structural heart defect with a prevalence of
nearly 25% in the general population.4 In a
portion of these adults, by maintaining a direct
communication between the right and leftsided circulation, PFO can serve as a conduit
for paradoxical embolization.5 Existing data
show there is a strong association between the
presence of patent foramen ovale and cryptogenic
stroke independent of age and that paradoxical
embolism is a cause of stroke.6
