ABSTRACT
The close relationship between patent foramen ovale(PFO)and cryptogenic ischemic cerebrovascular disease and migraine has been concerned for years. However,in the field of non-cardiac surgery and anesthesiology, PFO and related clinical problems are less recognized. Under perioperative circumstances,PFO may generate many challenges such as paradoxical systematic embolism and severe hypoxemia. This article briefly introduces the epidemiology, paradoxical embolism, and detection methods of PFO and discribes the perioperative complications and corresponding perioperative strategies for prevention and cure.
