Comparing PFO Outcomes of the Occlutech Flex II PFO Occluder to Standard of Care PFO Occlusion

Conditions: Stroke, Patent Foramen Ovale, PFO

Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 450
Sponsor: Occlutech International AB

Location: Arizona Cardiovascular Research Center Phoenix Arizona

Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate whether percutaneous PFO closure with the Occlutech Flex II PFO Occluder is non-inferior to the AMPLATZER™ PFO Occluder and Gore® Cardioform Septal Occluder in closure of the PFO, prevention of recurrent embolic stroke, and device/procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAE).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects with a PFO and cryptogenic stroke: * PFO defined as visualization of microbubbles (during Trans Esophageal Echo (TEE)) in the left atrium within three cardiac cycles of right atrial opacification at rest and/or with Valsalva. * Cryptogenic stroke defined as a stroke of unknown cause. * Stroke defined as an acute focal neurological deficit, presumed to be due to focal ischemia, and either: * Symptoms persisting ≥24 hours OR * Symptoms persisting \4 mm into the lumen. * Atherosclerosis or arteriopathy of intra- or extracranial vessels with \>50% diameter stenosis in the artery supplying the infarcted territory. * Another cause of right-to-left shunting (e.g., an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) or a fenestrated atrial septum). * Presence of an arterial hypercoagulable state. * Lacunar infarct probably due to intrinsic small vessel as the qualifying event, defined as an ischemic stroke in the distribution of a single, small deep penetrating vessel in a patient with any of the following: * A history of hypertension (except in the first week post stroke). * A history of diabetes mellitus. * Age ≥50 years. * MRI or CT with leukoaraiosis greater than symmetric, well-defined periventricular caps, or bands (European Task Force on Age-Related White Matter Changes rating scale score \>0). * Arterial dissection as the qualifying event.
