DevicePercutaneous closure of Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) using Amplatzer PFO Occluder
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Effective PFO closure rate of the NobleStitch EL
Effectiveness PFO closure rate of NobleStitch EL suture mediated closure with medical management compared to Amplatzer PFO occluder with medical management for PFO closure. Effective PFO closure rate defined as Grade 0 or 1 shunt at rest and during Valsalva at 6 month post closure attempts
Secondary outcomes
Decreased event rate of recurrent ischemic stroke following PFO closure using NobleStitch EL
Safety of NobleStitch EL suture mediated closure system as compared to Amplatzer PFO Occluder Procedural and device related adverse event rate at 6 month follow up recurrent ischemic stroke through 5 years follow up
Other outcomes
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
