About this Research Topic
Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in addressing the different causes of CES. With the continuous development of evidence-based medical approaches such as left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) and patent foramen ovale occlusion (PFOO), alongside the application of novel devices, interventional prevention of cardiogenic stroke has gradually become a research hotspot.
In this research topic, we would like to create a forum to systematically introduce the etiological diagnosis and recent advances in imaging diagnosis of CES, including standardized diagnostic approaches utilizing ultrasound imaging and radiological imaging techniques, as well as discuss comprehensively on the interventional prevention of CES, especially the clinical application of LAA and PFO closure, invasive and non-invasive imaging, step-by-step procedural guidance, and insights from esteemed experts within the field.
We welcome submissions on the following topics, but are not limited to:
- Latest innovation and emerging procedures in congenital, structural interventions
- Application of new occluder (New concepts, new materials, etc.) in cardiogenic stroke
- Clinical likelihood of PFO/LAA and selection of imaging tests
- Drug therapy and interventional therapy for PFO/LAA
Keywords: cardiogenic stroke, atrial fibrillation, patent foramen ovale, intervention, prevention
