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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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 outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
Procedure/at discharge or 7 days post-procedure, whichever comes first

Secondary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
At procedure, 6 months and 12 months post-implantation
2

Rate of stroke related events

Ischemic stroke, cryptogenic stroke, or TIA

Time frame
From attempted procedure up to 24 months post-implantation
3

Rate of Device Deficiencies

Including device malfunctions, failures, and non-conformances

Time frame
From attempted procedure up to 24 months post-implantation
4

Incidence of Serious Adverse Event

SAE

Time frame
From attempted procedure up to 24 months post-implantation
