Summary

This study tests a new biodegradable device that closes a common heart hole (PFO) in people who have already had a stroke or mini-stroke. The device is placed through a tube in the leg and dissolves over time, leaving no permanent implant. The trial will check if it safely and effectively prevents future strokes compared to standard treatments.
