1. 1. Diagnosis of interatrial shunts and the influence of patent foramen ovale on oxygen desaturation in obstructive sleep apnea

   Författare :Magnus C Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Patent foramen ovale; atrial septal defect; obstructive sleep apnea; contrast transesophageal echocardiography; percutaneous closure;

   Sammanfattning : Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is found in 27% of the population and although mostly asymptomatic, PFO has been associated with e.g. cryptogenic stroke and, rarely, also with oxygen desaturation. PFO and atrial septal defects may nowadays be closed percutaneously without open heart surgery. LÄS MER

3. 2. The role of C-reactive protein in percutaneous coronary intervention

   Författare :Nawsad Saleh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :C-reactive protein; Duett sealing device; FemoStop; interleukin-6; pathogen burden; percutaneous coronary intervention; prognosis; myocardial infarction; serum amyloid A; troponin T.; C-reactive protein;

   Sammanfattning : An elevated preprocedural plasma or serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level in patients undergoing percutanous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with short-, intermediate- and long-term outcome. Furthermore, the procedure itself has been shown to provoke an inflammatory reaction as shown by increased plasma CRP levels after PCI. LÄS MER

4. 3. Prognosis and clinical outomes in stroke patients with transcatheter closure of an atrial shunt

   Författare :Alexia Karagianni; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial shunt; cryptogenic stroke; patent foramen ovale; transcatheter intervention; cerebrovascular event; residual shunting;

   Sammanfattning : Background: The percutaneous transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) after a cryptogenic cerebrovascular event (CVE) has been performed for more than two decades. In contrast with previous randomized studies, recent randomized studies support the closure of the PFO after a cryptogenic CVE in preference to medical treatment alone. LÄS MER

5. 4. Interventional closure of persistent foetal cardiac shunts including PDA and PFO : study of outcome, complications and novel methods

   Författare :Kristoffer Jonathan Steiner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Persistent foramen ovale (PFO) and persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) are two of the most common congenital heart defects (CHD). The incidence of PFO is reported to be between 10% and 35% (1, 2). In term infants, a PDA is seen in around one in 2000 births, accounting for 5% to 10% of all congenital heart disease (3, 4).

7. 5. Young children with atrial septal defect

   Författare :Gustaf Tanghöj; Estelle Naumburg; Petru Liuba; Gunnar Sjöberg; Henrik Holmström; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial septal defect; preterm infants; adverse event; heart surgery; incidence; risk factors; kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Secundum atrial septal defect (ASD II), situated within the fossa ovalis, is the third most common congenital heart defect and even more common among preterm children. Spontaneous closure usually occurs during the first year of life. Most children with an ASD II remain asymptomatic during early childhood. LÄS MER
