Summary

This study looks at a device that plugs a small hole in the heart (called PFO) to help prevent strokes in people who have had a stroke with no clear cause. About 300 people in Japan will be followed for a year to see if the device closes the hole safely and reduces stroke risk. The goal is to confirm the device works well in real-world use.
