Filter by:To assess whether PFO closure plus antiplatelet therapy is superior to antiplatelet therapy alone and whether oral anticoagulant therapy is superior to antiplatelet therapy to prevent stroke recurrence in patients aged 60 to 80 years with a PFO with large shunt (> 20 microbubbles) or a PFO associated with an ASA (> 10 mm), and an otherwise unexplained ischemic stroke.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the SnowyTM PFO closure system in plugging patent foramen ovale
To evaluate the performance of patent foramen ovale (PFO) device developed by Lifetech Technology (Shenzhen) Co., LTD
About 30% of ischemic strokes are cryptogenic. Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is present in about 25% of the general population. In cryptogenic strokes, PFO has been shown to be overrepresented and recent intervention studies have confirmed that PFO has a causal link with stroke. In patients with recent cryptogenic stroke, these randomized studies have shown at least 50%-reduction of recurrent neurological events after PFO percutaneous closure compared with medical therapy alone. At the The risk of AF reported in these studies in certainly largely underestimated as only symptomatic and recorded episodes of AF have been declared. Patients often report palpitations without a dia gnosis of AF made on the ECG or a Holter. Long term ECG monitoring provides more accurate data on AF incidence. Administration of flecainide has been shown to be effective in preventing Atrial arrhythmia and may be useful in preventing these Atrial arrhythmia(AA) episodes after PFO closure. To the knowledge of the investigators, there is no study assessing the efficacy of any antiarrhythmic drug in the prevention of AFafter PFO closure. AFLOAT will be the first randomized study to possibly validate flecainide to prevent Atrial arrhythmia in these patients.
The objective of this study is to investigate whether percutaneous PFO closure with the Occlutech Flex II PFO Occluder is non-inferior to the AMPLATZER™ PFO Occluder and Gore® Cardioform Septal Occluder in closure of the PFO, prevention of recurrent embolic stroke, and device/procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAE).
STITCH - Prospective Multi-Center Comparative Parallel Concurrent Study of the NobleStitch™ EL versus FDA approved Amplatzer Occluder device for closure of Patent Foramen Ovale to prevent recurrent ischemic stroke.
stroke's risk is increased in patients with pulmonary embolism and PFO compared to patients without PFO. Does this increased risk persist years after pulmonary embolism ?
The purpose of this observational registry is to report real-world safety and performance of VeriSight for ultrasound guided ICE imaging in percutaneous cardiac intervention procedures when used in standard clinical practice.
Effectivity and safety of PFO closure vs medicine in alleviating migraine （SPRING）: a multicenter, random, case control study
This study aims to assess the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF), documented using data recorded by an implantable Holter monitoring device (Reveal Linq, Medtronic) within 2 years after percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale for cryptogenic stroke.
