Heart plug tested to stop repeat strokes

NCT ID NCT03309332

Ongoing Disease control Sponsor: Abbott Medical Devices Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study is checking if a small heart implant called the AMPLATZER PFO Occluder is safe and works well to prevent another stroke in people who have already had one. It involves about 1,200 adults in the US and Canada who have a small hole in their heart (a PFO). Doctors will follow participants for five years after the implant to see if they have another stroke and to track any device-related problems.
