Risk of Ischemic Stroke After Patent Foramen Ovale Closure

Sep 30, 2024

In the October 8, 2024, issue of JACC, Dr. Casper Bonison and colleagues present a study on the risks of ischemic stroke recurrence after PFO closure, revealing that while the four-year risk remains higher than the general population, it mirrors clinical trial findings. They emphasize the importance of careful patient selection and the need for further research into closure techniques and associated stroke risk factors.
