Abstract A 53 y/o female patient presented with clinical signs of stroke. Substantial cardiovascular risk factors were present with arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and a history of smoking. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a suspicious structure on the aortic valve. Consequently, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was ordered. In TEE, the structure proved to be highly suspicious for fibroelastoma. In addition, significant plaque of the aortic arch, and a persistent foramen ovale (PFO) were diagnosed in this examination. The patient was referred to cardiac surgery for excision of the mass on the aortic valve and for PFO closure. This case stresses the importance of echo in patients presenting with stroke. Apart from left atrial thrombus, several other possible embolic substrates can be diagnosed. Abstract P1706 figure 1

Innovative percutaneous procedures for stroke prevention have emerged in the last two decades. Transcatheter closure of the patent foramen ovale (PFO) is performed in patients who suffered a cryptogenic stroke or a transient ischaemic attach (TIA) in order to prevent recurrence of thromboembolic events. Percutaneous occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA) has been introduced to reduce stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The role of PFO and LAA in the occurrence of cerebrovascular events and the interventional device-based therapies to occlude the PFO and LAA are discussed.
