Systematic Review of Treatment for Trapped Thrombus in Patent Foramen Ovale.

CONCLUSION: This systematic review showed that surgery was associated with a lower overall incidence of post-treatment embolic events and a lower 60-day mortality in patients with trapped thrombus in a PFO. In patients without initial shock or arrest, thrombolysis was related with a higher 60-day mortality compared with surgery. PMID: 28955396 [PubMed]
