Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Description:

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 (PFO) for cryptogenic stroke. Secondary objectives include assessment of the burden of AF at 2, 12 and 24 months after PFO closure; evaluation of the relationship between plasma levels of MR proANP and presence of AF within 2 years after percutaneous PFO closure in patients with a history of cryptogenic ischemic stroke; and description of recurrence rates for stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic), major bleeding, minor bleeding, peripheral emboli during the 2-year follow-up period after percutaneous PFO closure, in patients with and without AF.
