Summary
This trial will study the safety and effectiveness of the GORE® CARDIOFORM Septal Occluder in post-approval settings.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who've had a type of stroke called ESUS within the last year and have a heart condition known as Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO). They must be able to take antiplatelet medication. People with certain heart issues, previous severe strokes, or conditions that increase infection or stroke risk are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests the GORE® CARDIOFORM Septal Occluder's safety and effectiveness in preventing recurrent strokes in patients with PFO. It also evaluates how well training for this procedure works outside of clinical trials.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the implant site, allergic reactions to device materials, bleeding due to antiplatelet therapy, and risks associated with heart procedures.
