Worldwide stroke care improvement initiative
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is part of a global effort to improve stroke care and outcomes. It aims to include people who have had any type of ischemic stroke or mini-stroke to help advance treatment and prevention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must have had an ischemic stroke or a mini-stroke (TIA).
- Stroke can be due to any cause.
- No other restrictions listed.

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 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 trial compares two devices that close a small opening in the heart called a PFO, which can let clots pass and cause strokes. If you've had a stroke or mini-stroke with no other cause, this study might help prevent future ones.
This study looks at whether closing a heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO) with a special septal occluder, along with antiplatelet medications, can lower the risk of another stroke. It is for people who recently had a stroke thought to be caused by a clot that traveled from the heart but without another clear source.
This trial tests a new device that sews shut a small hole in the heart (called a patent foramen ovale, or PFO). This hole may let tiny clots pass from the body to the brain, causing strokes or mini-strokes. If you have had a stroke or mini-stroke linked to this hole, this procedure might help prevent future events.
This study looks at people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke and also have a small opening in the heart called a PFO. It aims to better understand the link between the heart and brain, and to improve treatment choices for people in the Asia Pacific region.
