About this trial

"The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether the incidence of symptomatic or asymptomatic atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and atrial tachycardia within 30 days after percutaneous closure of idiopathic patent foramen ovale is reduced in the beta-blocker treatment group compared to the non-treatment group.

The secondary objective is to assess the safety and performance of the Cocoon Patent Foramen Ovale Occluder and collect real-world data on patient outcomes.

Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the beta-blocker treatment group or the non-treatment group. Randomization will be performed using a 1:1 allocation ratio with stratification based on (1) PFO device size and (2) sex, employing a block randomization method (mixed block sizes of 4 or 6). This process will be conducted independently through an interactive web response system.

The beta-blockers used in this study are extended-release beta-blockers, specifically bisoprolol or nebivolol. The choice between bisoprolol and nebivolol will be determined at the discretion of the investigators, with the initial dose set at the minimum dose for each drug (1.25 mg once daily). During the study period, adjustments to the beta-blocker dose, including maintenance or modification, will be made based on the investigators' clinical judgment, taking into account the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and medication adherence. All reasons for dose adjustments will be documented in detail."

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Beta-blocker treatment group

    Drug

    After PFO closure, the beta-blocker treatment group will receive an extended-release beta-blocker, either bisoprolol or nebivolol, at a dose of 1.25 mg QD for 30 days.

  • Non-treatment group

    Drug

    After PFO closure, the non-treatment group will not receive a beta-blocker.

Atrial Arrhythmias Within 30 Days After PFO Closure

The occurrence of at least one episode of symptomatic or asymptomatic atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or atrial tachycardia lasting 30 seconds or longer within 30 days after PFO closure. Monitoring will be conducted using a 14-day Holter ECG with the AT Patch during the initial 14 days, followed by an additional clinical assessment and ECG evaluation on day 15.
