Long-Term Outcome After Percutaneous Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale for Cryptogenic Ischemic Events.

CONCLUSION: In this long-term follow-up after PFO closure, the rate of recurrent stroke was low. There were no significant differences in event rates between different occluder devices, the existence of an atrial septal aneurysm, or grade of preprocedural shunt at baseline. Patients <45 years old had lower rates of recurrent ischemic stroke. PMID: 31368895 [PubMed - in process]
