Percutaneous PFO Closure
Percutaneous closure may be considered when there is cryptogenic ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) assessed to be related to patent foramen ovale (PFO), and the shunt volume or anatomy is considered high risk. The decision is based on a comprehensive assessment of age, stroke etiolo

What is Percutaneous PFO Closure?
Percutaneous closure is typically performed via the femoral vein approach, crossing the foramen ovale under fluoroscopic and transesophageal or intracardiac echocardiographic guidance. The channel is measured, and an occluder (such as a double-disc device) is selected and deployed after confirming its position and stability. Residual shunting is then checked. After the procedure, the sheath is removed, hemostasis is achieved, and heart rhythm and the puncture site are monitored. Ultrasound is used to assess device apposition, with the goal of blocking paradoxical embolism pathways. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
