Time frame
5 years

Other outcomes

1

The occurrence of recurrent ischemic stroke post procedural of patent foramen ovale closure

Examination of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke through 5 year follow up. Comparison of the rate of Stroke associated with the NobleStitch EL procedure to that expected with medical management
