Long-term complications after PFO closure
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial follows people who had a PFO (small hole in the heart) closure to check for long-term problems or complications related to the device or procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a PFO closure procedure (a common heart procedure to close a small hole).
- You are able to complete the study and follow the doctor's instructions.

This study looks at how well patients do over time after having a hole in their heart (patent foramen ovale, or PFO) closed with a small device inserted through a vein. It may help doctors understand the benefits and risks of the procedure.
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 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 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.
This trial tests a new device to close a PFO (a small hole in the heart) in people who have had a stroke caused by a blood clot passing through that hole. The goal is to see if the device can prevent another stroke.
This study looks at a small hole in the heart called a PFO, which may be linked to strokes. It aims to better understand how the heart and brain interact, and may help guide future treatments for people with PFO who have had a stroke or mini-stroke.
