Article Synopsis
- Cryptogenic stroke (CS) accounts for about 25% of ischemic stroke cases, often linked to patent foramen ovale (PFO), which can lead to paradoxical embolism; the study assesses the effectiveness of transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound in detecting PFO compared to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
- In a study of 110 CS patients, TEE identified PFO in 44.5% of cases while TCD accurately detected right-to-left shunt in 85.7% of these confirmed cases, showing TCD's high sensitivity (85.4%) and specificity (88.5%).
- The results suggest TCD can be a valuable noninvasive
Introduction: Primary pulmonary angiosarcoma (PPA) is a highly aggressive and rare malignancy originating from the endothelial cells of blood vessels in the lungs. PPA is an extremely rare subtype, with less than 30 cases reported to date. PPA is not only challenging to diagnose but also has a poor prognosis, often resulting in a high mortality rate within a year of diagnosis, regardless of the treatment approach.
