卵圆孔未闭相关疾病研究2023 年度进展

Progress in research on diseases related to patent foramen ovale in 2023

卵圆孔未闭(PFO)是一种在人群中患病率较高的先天性心脏病,既往研究已明确其与脑卒中之间的关联,并认可封堵治疗对于PFO相关脑卒中的意义。近年来,关于PFO相关疾病的研究逐渐增多,认识进一步加深,同时国内PFO封堵治疗的例数也增长明显。本文盘点了2023年度PFO领域最新研究进展,主要包括PFO相关疾病谱的扩展(癫痫、不明原因晕厥等),发病机制的探究以及风险评估的手段;针对PFO封堵治疗,本文介绍了关于封堵效果与预后的最新研究结果,以及封堵治疗与心房颤动之间关系。国内在PFO封堵新器械的研发上一直处于领先地位,本文也对该方面的最新成果进行了介绍。

Patent foramen ovale(PFO)is a congenital heart disease with a relatively high prevalence in the population.Past studies have clarified its association with strokes and recognized the significance of PFO closure for PFO-related strokes.In recent years,research on diseases related to PFO has gradually increased and deepened our understanding.Meanwhile,the number of closure treatments for PFO in China has also significantly increased.This article reviews the latest research progress in the PFO field for the year 2023,mainly including the expansion of the spectrum of PFO-related diseases(such as epilepsy,unexplained syncope,etc.),exploration of the mechanisms of disease,and means of risk assessment.Regarding PFO closure treatment,this article introduces the latest research results concerning the eff ects of closure and prognosis,as well as the relationship between closure treatment and atrial fibrillation.China has always been in a leading position in the development of new devices for PFO closure,and this article also introduces the latest achievements in this area.
