First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study looks at whether closing a common heart defect called PFO (a small hole between the heart's upper chambers) can help prevent another stroke in people over 60 who have had a stroke with no clear cause. About 714 older adults will either get medication alone or medication plus a procedure to close the hole. The goal is to see if the closure reduces the risk of future strokes in this age group.
