Patent Foramen Ovale and Brain Infarct:Echocardiographic Predictors, Recurrence, and Prevention
Stroke 25:782-786, Hanna,J.P.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Atrial septal aneurysm and right-to-left shunt may be predictive of a patent foramen ovale that predisposes a patient to stroke.Aspirin may provide sufficient infarct prophylaxis after initial ischemia.Warfarin and surgical correction should likely be reserved for those in whom aspirin is not effective or those who require warfarin or cardiac surgery for other reasons until prospective studies are available.
