Patent Foramen Ovale Closure for Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, Peripheral Embolism, Migraine, and Hypoxemia
1st Edition
Description
Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Closure for Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, Peripheral Embolism, Migraine, and Hypoxemia is a complete reference covering the association between PFO and numerous medical conditions. It provides a background on the topic including embryology, anatomy, and physiology. This book fully examines the diagnosis and imaging assessment of PFO and discusses the data linking PFO to various clinical pathologies. It details technical aspects of PFO closure and includes perspectives on future outlooks and where the field is headed in terms of device closure indications. This is a complete reference book for cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, neurologists, pulmonologists, general practitioners, medical professionals, and researchers who are interested in PFO-associated pathologies, technical aspects, safety, and future outlooks of PFO device closure.
Key Features
- Explains the association between PFO and related clinical conditions including stroke, myocardial infarction, peripheral embolism, migraine, hypoxemia, decompression sickness, Raynaud’s phenomenon, and vasospasm
- Provides an in-depth analysis of the evidence behind PFO closure for various clinical conditions
- Expounds on the technical aspects of PFO closure including differences between devices and techniques
- Offers future outlooks on PFO closure and where the field is headed in terms of PFO closure indications
Readership
Cardiology researchers, cardiologists, general practitioners and medical professionals that are interested in current technical aspects of the field and in the future outlooks on PFO closure

Bernhard Meier
Bernhard Meier has served from 1992 to his retirement in 2015 as full Professor of Cardiology and Chairman of the Department of Cardiology at the Swiss Cardiovascular Center Bern of the University of Bern, Switzerland. Since 2016 he has served as Senior Consultant. Meier has been a personal assistant to Andreas Gruentzig, at the time Gruentzig introduced coronary angioplasty into clinical medicine. Hence, he has been involved in the procedure starting from the world’s first coronary angioplasty patient, treated in Zurich on September 16, 1977, to the current day. He has personally performed thousands of coronary angioplasty and other catheter-based cardiac procedures and implanted the world's first dedicated PFO occluder in 1997. Meier has written countless articles, reviews, and book chapters about interventional cardiology. He has also been involved in teaching in this field for 40 years, organizing and conducting dedicated courses and seminars and participating in events around the world.
