Summary

This study looks at whether closing a small hole in the heart (called a PFO) can help prevent another stroke in people over 60 who have already had a stroke with no clear cause. Participants will either get medication alone or medication plus a procedure to close the hole. The goal is to see if the closure reduces the chance of having another stroke.
