Standardized Mortality Ratio and Long-Term Stroke Incidence After PFO Closure
Patients undergoing PFO closure demonstrated a lower all-cause mortality compared to the general population. The observed rate of subsequent ischemic stroke was consistent with findings from previous randomized controlled trials. New-onset atrial fibrillation following PFO closure and active/previous smoking emerged as modifiable risk factors.
