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.
