Abstract :
A 58-year-old man, who experienced recurrent strokes while
on aspirin therapy, was admitted for further evaluation. The patient’s electrocardiogram showed normal sinus rhythm, and
transthoracic echocardiography revealed normal cardiac functions with mild tricuspid regurgitation and a floppy interatrial septum. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a patent
foramen ovale (PFO) with an atrial septal aneurysm (Fig. 1, Video
1). Therefore, a PFO closure was planned.
