Percutaneous Closure Versus Medical Treatment in Stroke Patients With Patent Foramen Ovale: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Conclusion: Compared with medical treatment, PFO closure prevents recurrent stroke and TIA but increases the incidence of AF or AFL in PFO carriers with cryptogenic stroke.

Detection of subclinical atrial fibrillation after cryptogenic stroke using implantable cardiac monitors
CONCLUSIONS: In a real-world population, ICM detected SCAF in more than a quarter of CS patients. This experience confirms the relevance of implanting CS patients, for maximizing the possibilities to detect AF, following failure of Holter monitoring, according to guidelines. However, there is need to demonstrate that shift to oral anticoagulation following SCAF detection is associated with reduced risk of recurrent stroke.PMID:34247889 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2021.06.022
