An interventional study of Transthoracic echocardiography in Hip Fractures, sponsored by Hopital Foch. Terminated at 2 sites in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-08-09.

Ereth et al. showed in 1992, using transesophageal echocardiography, that the implantation of a hip prosthesis may be complicated by intracardiac embolization of various origin.
A patent foramen ovale exists in approximately one fifth of the population; it facilitates the passage of embolus from the right heart to the left one and then especially to the coronary vessels and to the brain.
The hypothesis supported in this research is that the prevalence of postoperative complications, especially neurological ones, is increased after surgery for hip fracture when patients have a patent foramen ovale.
848 studies on the registry are indexed under Hip Fractures; 160 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 41 is below the median of 90 across 540 interventional studies indexed under Hip Fractures.
