Patent Foramen Ovale Size and Embolic Brain Imaging Findings Among Patients with Ischemic Stroke
Stroke 29:944-948, Steiner,M.M.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Stroke patients with larger PFOs show more brain imaging features of embolic infarcts than those with small PFOs.Larger PFOs may be more likely to cause paradoxical embolization and may help explain the stroke mechanism among patients with no other definite cause.
