Long-term follow-up after percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale with Amplatzer PFO Occluder: a single center experience.
INTRODUCTION Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with the occurrence of cryptogenic strokes, transient neurological ischemic attacks (TIA) and migraine. Therefore despite the recent ambiguous results of prospective controlled trials, percutaneous closure of PFO is still performed in many centers. AIM To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous PFO closure in the prevention o...
متن کاملOutcome of Percutaneous Patent Foramen Ovale Closure with the Premere Occluder – A Single Center Experience
Introduction: Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) has become a widely used procedure in patients with suspected paradoxical embolism. Despite being generally safe and effective, the minimally invasive intervention has been associated with several serious complications such as air embolism, cardiac perforation, device embolization, device thrombus formation and puncture site probl...
متن کاملPatent Foramen Ovale and Closure Technique with the Amplatzer Occluder
Proof that percutaneous closure of the patent foramen ovale (PFO) is superior to medical treatment is still incomplete. Paradoxical embolism is a rare event occurring over decades rather than years. None of the 4 randomized trials published carried enough patients or was followed up for long enough to reach superiority endpoints. All data, however, point to a benefit of PFO closure. Free wall e...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess predictors of residual shunts after percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure with Amplatzer PFO occluder (AGA Medical Corporation, Golden Valley, MN, USA). METHODS All percutaneous PFO closures, using Amplatzer PFO occluder performed at a tertiary center between May 2002 and August 2006, were reviewed. Follow-up, including saline cont...

background: percutaneous transcatheter closure has been proposed as an alternative to surgical closure or long-term anticoagulation in patients with presumed paradoxical embolism and patent foramen ovale (pfo). methods: there were two symptomatic patients (29 and 47 years old) who underwent percutaneous transcatheter closure of pfo after at least two events of cerebral ischemia; one embolic eve...
