New heart rhythm after PFO closure study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether closing a small hole in the heart (called a PFO) can cause new heart rhythm problems. It is for people who had a stroke caused by a PFO and are planning to have it closed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) and a PFO (a small hole in the heart) was found to be the reason.
- You are older than 18.
- You are willing and able to give your written consent to join the study.
- You have never been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or atrial tachycardia (types of irregular heart rhythms).

This study tests a new dissolvable device that closes a common heart defect called a patent foramen ovale (PFO), which can cause strokes. The device is designed to prevent future strokes and eventually break down in the body.
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 is testing a new way to close a small hole in the heart (called a PFO) using a thin tube and a guidewire to make the procedure smoother. It's for people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke and whose PFO is thought to be the cause.
This study looks at the long-term safety of a procedure called PFO closure, which closes a small hole in the heart. If you've had this procedure, researchers want to track any device or procedure-related problems over time to improve care for future patients.
