Cerebrovascular Accident in Patent Foramen Ovale: A Unique Case Report of a New Therapeutic Method – Biotronics

Introduction. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) receives considerable attention in cardiovascular medicine, usually requiring surgery. In this report, we would like to present a highly unique therapeutic outcome after use of a new discipline of complementary medicine – the Josef Zezulka Biotronics. Case presentation. A 31-year-old man was hospitalized with a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) of embolic origin due to paradoxical embolism in PFO. Right-sided hemiplegia developed as a consequence of this embolism. Anticoagulant therapy and rehabilitation were initiated. Health condition slightly improved. Seven months after the CVA, the patient underwent two cycles of biotronic treatment, i.e. a non-invasive method of spiritual energy therapy, resulting in significant improvement in his health condition. Subsequently, he went through seven more cycles of the biotronic treatment, resulting in further improvement of not only the neurological disability but also the cardiac defect. The transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) did not show the initially identified atrial septal defect. Due to the uniqueness of the result, the TEE was repeated eleven days later – with the same conclusion. Foramen ovale was entirely closed. Thus, the patient’s anticoagulant therapy was discontinued and switched to antiplatelet therapy. The CVA has not recurred. Conclusions. The foramen ovale closure without a surgical intervention, which initially seemed necessary, is a remarkably unique therapeutic outcome, indicating potential significant benefit of biotronic treatment in integrative healthcare. This new discipline and its possible therapeutic potential, not only in cardiovascular diseases, should therefore be subjected to more detailed research.
