Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to construct and validate a nomogram model that predicts the remission of migraine attacks by screening factors that affect the prognosis of migraine patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) after closure. METHOD Retrospective analysis was conducted in migraine patients with PFO who underwent PFO closure in the Department of Cardiology of Jiangsu Province Hospital from September 2020 to April 2023. Based on the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) scores from the 1-year follow-up after PFO closure, all patients who met the inclusion criteria were categorized into a remission group and a non-remission group. The primary efficacy endpoint was remission of migraine headache. After collecting clinical data, transcranial doppler sonography (TCD) results and MIDAS scores, LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) regression and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to filter variables predictive to migraine remission and construct the nomogram model. The Nomogram's accuracy and consistency were respectively assessed through Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration curves. Additionally, an analysis of decision curves (DCA) was conducted to evaluate the clinical utility of this newly developed model. RESULT A total of 241 consecutive patients were included in the study. The remission group included 21 males and 93 females, with a median age of 39 (30.25,50) years. The non-remission group included 26 males and 101 females, with a median age of 35 (25.5,47.5) years. All Patients were randomly divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that 5 independent predictors, including MIDAS before closure (p = 0.0002), mitigating factors (p = 0.0057), number of attacks/month (p = 0.0058), TCD (p = 0.0093) and Platelet Crit (PCT) (p = 0.0351), played a significant role in the prediction of remission of migraine patients with PFO after closure. Based on these independent predictors, the predictive nomogram model of migraine remission in PFO patients was constructed. The application of the nomogram in the training cohort exhibited good discrimination (area under the ROC curve was 0.7763[95% CI 0.7108-0.8418]), which was confirmed in the validation cohort (AUC was 0.704[95% CI 0.5533-0.8547]). The calibration curve showed that the nomogram model demonstrated good calibration performance. Additionally, the decision curve analysis indicated the clinical utility of the nomogram model. CONCLUSION The construction of the nomogram model had a considerable predictive accuracy for migraine remission in patients after PFO closure, which may provide constructive guidance for clinical decision making.

[PMID: 38818761 DOI: 10.1080/00015385.2024.2356903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Effectiveness of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure on relief of migraine, is still unclear. We sought to analyse the long-term (>10 years) effects of interatrial septal shunt repair on disabling migraine performing a retrospective non-randomised study. METHODS Clinical records of patients with disabling, medication-refractory migraine and PFO or significant ASD referred to our centre for closure from 2006 to 2018, were analysed. RESULTS Forty -six patients (38 female, mean age 40.0 ± 3.7 years) with PFO and 32 patients with significant ASD (28 female, mean age 38.0 ± 4.1 years) submitted to transcatheter closure had a pre-existing disabling migraine with mean Migraine Disability Assessment Score (MIDAS) of 35.8 ± 4.7. After a mean follow-up of 118.2 ± 19.1 months (range 96 to 144), 72 out of 78 patients were still followed-up: in all subjects, aura was abolished, and migraine improved also in patients without aura. The mean MIDAS significantly decreased from baseline value (p < 0.01). Complete migraine resolution was associated in PFO patients with a shorter history of migraine, a more severe thrombophilic profile, a more severe Right-to-Left Shunt (RLS) and larger left atrial diameter and volume, and in ASD patients with bidirectional shunt. CONCLUSIONS Device-based repair of PFO/ASD in patients with migraine was associated with abolition of aura and symptoms reduction in the long-term period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Several clinical trials have provided evidence supporting the transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in selected patients following a cryptogenic stroke. However, it remains unknown to what extent these guidelines have been implemented in everyday clinical practice and the familiarity of physicians from different specialties with PFO closure. The aim of our nationwide survey is to explore the implementation of transcatheter PFO occlusion in Greek clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Attending level cardiologists, internal medicine physicians and neurologists involved in the management of PFO-related strokes working in Greece were invited to complete an online questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 19 questions and was designed to obtain comprehensive data on provider demographics, PFO characteristics, and specific clinical scenarios. RESULTS A total of 51 physicians (56.9 % cardiologists, 25.5 % neurologists and 17.6 % internal medicine physicians) completed the survey, resulting in a response rate of 53 %. Cardiologists, internal medicine physicians and neurologists agree on several issues regarding PFO closure, such as PFO closure as first line treatment, management of patients with DVT or prior decompression sickness, and post-closure antithrombotic treatment, but different approaches were reported regarding closure in patients with thrombophilia treated with oral anticoagulation (p=0.012) and implantable loop recorder placement for atrial fibrillation exclusion (p=0.029 and p=0.020). CONCLUSIONS Our findings show that cardiologists, internal medicine physicians and neurologists agree in numerous issues, but share different views in the management of patients with thrombophilia and rhythm monitoring duration. These results highlight the significance of collaboration among physicians from different medical specialties for achieving optimal results.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Uncommon causes of stroke merit specific attention; when clinicians have less common etiologies of stoke in mind, the diagnosis may come more easily. This is key, as optimal management will in many cases differs significantly from "standard" care. RECENT FINDINGS Randomized controlled trials (RCT) on the best medical therapy in the treatment of cervical artery dissection (CeAD) have demonstrated low rates of ischemia with both antiplatelet and vitamin K antagonism. RCT evidence supports the use of anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonism in "high-risk" patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APLAS), and there is new evidence supporting the utilization of direct oral anticoagulation in malignancy-associated thrombosis. Migraine with aura has been more conclusively linked not only with increased risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, but also with cardiovascular mortality. Recent literature has surprisingly not provided support the utilization of L-arginine in the treatment of patients with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS); however, there is evidence at this time that support use of enzyme replacement in patients with Fabry disease. Additional triggers for reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) have been identified, such as capsaicin. Imaging of cerebral blood vessel walls utilizing contrast-enhanced MRA is an emerging modality that may ultimately prove to be very useful in the evaluation of patients with uncommon causes of stroke. A plethora of associations between cerebrovascular disease and COVID-19 have been described. Where pertinent, authors provide additional tips and guidance. Less commonly encountered conditions with updates in diagnosis, and management along with clinical tips are reviewed.

Abstract
The foramen ovale is an essential component of the foetal circulation contributing to oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination that remains patent under certain circumstances, in ∼ 30% of the healthy adult population, without major negative sequelae in most. Adults with a patent foramen ovale (PFO) have a greater tendency to develop symptoms of acute mountain sickness and high-altitude pulmonary oedema upon ascent to high altitude, and PFO presence is associated with worse cardiopulmonary function in chronic mountain sickness. This increase in altitude illness prevalence may be related to dysregulated cerebral blood flow associated with altered respiratory chemoreflex sensitivity; however, the mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Interestingly, men with a PFO appear to have a shift in thermoregulatory control to higher internal temperatures, both at rest and during exercise, and they have blunted thermal tachypnea. The teleological "reason" for this thermoregulatory shift is unclear, but the shift of ∼0.5°C in core body temperature does not appear to be sufficient to have any significant negative consequences in terms of risk of heat illness. Further work in this area is needed, particularly in women, to evaluate mechanisms of heat storage and dissipation in these individuals as compared to people without a PFO. Consequences of a PFO in SCUBA divers include a greater incidence of unprovoked decompression sickness, but whether PFO is beneficial or detrimental to breath hold diving remains unexplored. Whether PFO presence will explain interindividual variability in responses to, and consequences from, other environmental stressors such as spaceflight remain entirely unknown.
