| Core Tip |
Closure of patent foramen ovale closure (PFOC) is a treatment modality for patients with stroke. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of PFOC vs medical therapy in different groups of patients presenting with stroke, we performed this meta-analysis of randomized trials following standard techniques. It showed that PFOC, compared to medical therapy reduced the risk of ischemic stroke and the composite outcome of stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and systemic thromboembolism but no difference was observed in the risk of TIA, mortality and major bleeding. PFOC increased the risk of atrial fibrillation. Subgroup analyses showed that PFOC reduced the risk of stroke in males. |
