Closing the hole in the heart with a stitch device
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new stitch system to close a small hole in the heart called PFO, which can cause strokes. It is for people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke linked to this hole.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at whether closing a small hole in the heart (PFO) can reduce tiny clots traveling to the brain. It includes people who have had a stroke or migraine, and also those without symptoms but with high-risk features.
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 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 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, dissolvable device to close a hole in the heart called a PFO. It may help people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke linked to this hole.
