CeraFlex PFO closure study for migraine or stroke
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a device called CeraFlex PFO Occluder to close a small hole in the heart (PFO) that may be causing migraines or strokes. If you have a PFO with related symptoms, the device might help prevent future events.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed PFO (a small hole in your heart) linked to migraines, mini-stroke, or stroke.
- Your heart structure is large enough to safely place the device, as measured by your doctor.
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You do not have ongoing atrial fibrillation, a bleeding disorder, or a life-threatening illness that shortens your life expectancy.
- You agree to follow the study timeline and checkups.

This trial studies whether a Cera™ device is safe and effective for closing a patent foramen ovale (PFO), a small hole in the heart. It is for adults whose PFO is linked to certain types of stroke or ongoing clot-related events.
This trial tests how safe and effective the SnowyTM device is for closing a patent foramen ovale (PFO), a small heart opening linked to some strokes and migraines. You may be considered if you have a PFO and either an unexplained stroke/TIA or long-term migraine symptoms.
This trial tests whether closing a small heart opening (called a patent foramen ovale or PFO) can reduce migraine headaches in people who have frequent migraines. You would receive a minimally invasive procedure to close the PFO and take anti-clotting medication afterward.
This trial tests a new device to close a PFO (a small hole between the upper chambers of the heart) in people who have had a stroke caused by a blood clot. The goal is to prevent future strokes by blocking the hole.
This trial looks at the safety and results of closing a PFO (a small hole in the heart) in people who have had a stroke or embolism with no other clear cause. If you qualify, doctors will close your PFO using a small tube inserted through a blood vessel and then follow your health over time.
This trial tests whether closing a hole in the heart (a PFO) with a special device can help prevent another stroke after an unexplained stroke. You may be a candidate if your stroke likely happened because blood can pass through this PFO.
