Filter by:We aimed to explore: (1）long-term complications of PFO closure; (2) antiplate or anticoagulation use after PFO closure.
Patients who underwent both bubble transcranial Doppler (bubble-TCD) and transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) at our institution were consecutively enrolled in this real-world case-control study from August 2016 through August 2023. The patients were categorized into three groups based on the degree of the shunt observed: mild (3-9 bubbles), moderate (10-30bubbles), and severe (more than 30 bubbles). In cases with mild-shunt (small-size) PFO, post-procedural anticoagulation or PFO closure was administered. Subsequent to the interventions, the follow-up encompassed the recording of migraine remission, recurrent neurological incidents, instances of major bleeding, and mortality.
The INTELICE trial is a prospective, multicenter, 1:1 randomized controlled non-inferiority study. It aims to compare a novel intracardiac echography (ICE) catheter and combined ultrasound system with existing commercial ones. The evaluation will be conducted on patients undergoing planned intracardiac interventional process.
This study is a multi-center (Sinchon Severance hospital / Gangnam Severance hospital), prospective cohort observational study to patients who had undergone structural heart intervention including device closure for secundum type atrial septal defect or Patent foramen ovale. Transthoracic echocardiography will be performed before the procedure, immediately after, and at 6, 18, 30 months after the procedure. Wearable ECG monitoring (> 3 days) will be performed before the procedure or immediately after procedure. Demographic, laboratory, hemodynamic data during procedure, and non-invasive imaging dat are obtained.
The goal of this observational study is to retrospectively observe the effect of PFO closure and medication on migraine. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether PFO closure is more effective in the treatment of migraine than traditional medical treatment - What factors affect the effectiveness of migraine treatment ? Participants will undergo contrast transthoracic echocardiography to diagnose PFO and evaluate right-to-left shunt. They will be treated with medication and PFO closure respectively according to guidelines. HIT-6 and a questionnaire about migraine were obtained at the baseline and repeated at the 6-month and 12-month follow-up visits. Researchers will compare closure group and drug group to see efficacy of two groups in treating migraine.
The study will include all patients over 18 years of age who underwent endovascular closure of patent foramen ovale in medical centers in the Russian Federation, who gave written informed consent to the closure and provided personal data as part of inpatient medical care. The project participants will be 29 medical centers in the Russian Federation, where endovascular closure of patent foramen ovale is performed.
The purpose of this study is to compile real-world data on patient outcomes and evaluate the procedural success and performance of the CeraFlex™ PFO Closure System.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the benefits of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure on patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and persistent hypoxia despite optimal therapy.
Patent foramen ovale PFO closure has been shown to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with recurrent stroke. However, the majority of existing clinical studies in this field excluded patients over the age of 60 years. Data in older patients is limited and since the population ages and stroke remains a major cause of death and morbidity, randomized clinical trials are needed to better assess the benefit of PFO closure in this elderly population. Therefore, this study proposal sought to determine the efficacy of PFO closure for the prevention of recurrent stroke in older patients with PFO and cryptogenic stroke.
The objective of this post-market registry is to assess the clinical use of the Lifetech Cera™ PFO Occluder in a real-world and on-label fashion.
