Clinical Trial Summary

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with an increased risk of stroke. PFO-closure was effective in preventing stroke in young stroke patients less than age 60 presented as an embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). However, the benefit of PFO-closure in elderly ESUS patients is not clear. The investigators designed this prospective register-based observational study to verify the efficacy of PFO-closure in elderly ESUS patients with high-risk PFO, older than 60 years


Clinical Trial Description

The COACH-ELDERLY ESUS study is a multicenter, prospective, registry-based, observational study in elderly ESUS patients with high-risk PFO treated with PFO-closure + standard antiplatelet treatment or standard antiplatelet treatment only in 20 centers in Korea. Patients will receive an insertable loop recorder (ILR) to monitor paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In cases, which are unavailable for ILR, recurrent EKG or Holter monitoring will be done based on the clinician's decision. Based on the attending physicians' decision with a multi-disciplinary approach, patients will receive PFO-closure with standard antiplatelet treatment or standard antiplatelet treatment only. ;
