About this trial
The purpose of this study is to compile real-world data on patient outcomes and evaluate the procedural success and performance of the CeraFlex™ PFO Closure System.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Confirmed PFO by medical examinations;
Associated with recurrent migraine/headache or TIA or cryptogenic stroke.
Measure the distance from the defect to the aorta root;
Measure the distance from the defect to the superior vena cava (SVC) rim; select a device with the radius of the right disc that will not exceed the lesser of these two distances.
Disqualifiers
Age <18 years or Age >85 years.
Patient with a history of ongoing Atrial Fibrillation (AF).
Patient with malignancy or other illness where life expectancy is less than 1 year.
Patient not covered by a social security scheme.
Trial population
Patients with PFO and need non-surgical closure of PFO.
Trial design
Cohort
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
CeraFlex PFO Closure System
DeviceThe Lifetech CeraFlex™ PFO occluder device is a percutaneous, transcatheter closure device for the non-surgical closure of Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Procedural success rate
Procedure success is defined as a composite of : 1. absence of peri-procedural stroke-related events (ischemic stroke, cryptogenic stroke, or TIA), device embolization, cardiac or vascular perforation, or death, at discharge or 7 days post-procedure, whichever comes first; 2. successful implantation of the device at the procedure.
Secondary outcomes
Residual shunt
Residual shunt was classified on the basis of the estimated number of microbubbles detected in the left atrium within three cardiac cycles after appearance in the right atrium, as observed on cTTE/cTEE while the patient was at rest or during Valsalva procedure. The presence of 0 microbubbles was classified as no shunt, 1 to 5 microbubbles as small, 6 to 25 microbubbles as moderate, and more than 25 microbubbles as large.
Rate of stroke related events
Ischemic stroke, cryptogenic stroke, or TIA
Rate of Device Deficiencies
Including device malfunctions, failures, and non-conformances
