Stroke recurrence after transcatheter PFO closure in patients with cryptogenic stroke
In this real-world cohort, transcatheter PFO closure was associated with low long-term recurrence of neurologic events, especially cryptogenic strokes. The RoPE score, the PASCAL score, and history of previous neurological events were predictive of recurrent events. This study supports the safety and efficacy of PFO closure for secondary prevention of cryptogenic strokes, and underscores the importance of patient selection.
