In order to study anatomical and functional characteristics of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients with cryptogenic stroke and with other stroke subtypes we examined 56 stroke patients (male--35, female--21, age 46.7 +/- 16.5 years) with PFO and ischemic stroke. Diagnosis of PFO was made by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), contrast transcranial Doppler monitoring (C-TCD), contrast transthoracic echocardiography (C-TTE). Group 1 was made up of patients with definite stroke cause (cardioembolic, lacunar, atherotrombotic) (n=40), and group 2--of patients with cryptogenic stroke (n=16). Patients in group 2 were younger than patients in group 1 (38.7 +/- 13.4 and 50.4 +/- 16.5 years, p < 0.05) and had slight neurological symptoms. These patients also more frequently had avalvular, or "window-like" anatomic types of PFO (2 [13%] and 4 [27%] patients, respectively), combination of large anatomic size (3 mm and larger) and functional level of PFO (3 degree of the right-to-left shunt by C-TCD) (p < 0.05).
