Cryptogenic stroke, embolic stroke of unknown source, and the left atrial septal pouch: the role of transesophageal echocardiography
This systematic review and meta-analysis supports a relationship between LASP and cryptogenic stroke. Given the limitations of the TOAST criteria and the underutilization of TEE in stroke evaluation of cryptogenic stroke and ESUS, further research is needed to characterize LASP's role in stroke occurrence and to establish targeted prevention strategies in affected patients.
