Arm Description

Evaluate closure rate of clinically relevant septal defects including PFO, ASD (less than 1 cm with redundant septal tissue), trans septal puncture sites, repair of ASA (when an appropriate PFO or small ASD defect is present) and rate of recurrent neurologic embolic event in patients with cryptogenic stroke and PFO

Compare PFO closure rate and safety of closure of septal occluders in published PFO clinical trials.
