CLOSURE I

Closure or medical therapy for cryptogenic stroke with patent foramen ovale - The New England Journal of Medicine - 2012

Brief Summary:

Although many patients with cryptogenic stroke/TIA have a PFO, closure of the PFO does not reduce the 30 day rate of recurrent stroke/TIA, all-cause mortality, or death from neurologic causes.
