Core Tip	Percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure has been used for the prevention of recurrent cryptogenic stroke on the basis of observational studies; however, recent randomized trials do not support its use for this indication. A detailed analysis of these randomized trials could suggest that when the Amplatzer PFO Occluder is used, the risk of stroke is reduced.
