Official Title: Feasibility Study of the PFX Closure System in Subjects With Cryptogenic Stroke, Transient Ischemia Attack or Paradoxical Embolism

Brief Summary: The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety of the PFX Closure System when utilized for patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) suffering from cryptogenic stroke, transient ischemic attacks or paradoxical embolism.

Detailed Summary: Patent Foramen Ovale has been implicated in the etiology of paradoxical embolism, cryptogenic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), and right to left gas embolism in severe decompression illness. An association between patent foramen ovale and severe migraine headaches has also been reported. Several implantable devices are being used for percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale; we propose to use a non-implantable system to safely effect closure.

Current Primary Outcome: PFO closure as measured by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or transcranial Doppler (TCD) acutely post procedure

Original Primary Outcome: PFO closure as measured by TEE or TCD acutely post procedure

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • PFO closure as measured by TEE or TCD at 30 days post procedure
  • Neurological death and adverse event (AE) rates for all subjects through 30 day follow-up
  • New arrhythmia rate through 30 day follow-up. For any subjects with new arrhythmia, arrhythmia status will also be evaluated at a follow-up visit from 3 to 6 months post procedure
  • PFO closure rate at 3 to 6 months for any subject not demonstrating complete closure at the 30 day follow-up
