Other nurses gathered around — and all quickly realized that Arismendez was having a stroke.
Doctors determined that Arismendez had suffered an acute ischemic stroke, which occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted and the brain does not receive enough oxygen or nutrients. For most of these individuals, the opening is not a problem and results in no symptoms. A PFO, however, can increase the risk of stroke, as it allows blood clots to travel from the right to left atrium of the heart, without being filtered in the lungs.
His hypothesis was that blood thinners, in addition to clot-busting medication, could be key to advancing treatment. “But you can’t say it’s definitive with a phase 2 because the trial is too small,” Barreto said. “Dr. Grotta and I got to a point where we were ready to do more.” Now, about 500 patients have enrolled in the study, which includes 65 hospitals across the U.S. Barreto said that 10 hospitals in Canada are also in the process of joining as trial sites.
