https://www.selleckchem.com/products/filanesib.html Results of randomized controlled trials (RCT) do not provide definite guidance for secondary prevention after ischemic stroke (IS)/transient ischemic attack (TIA) attributed to patent foramen ovale (PFO). No recommendations can be made for patients > 60 years. We aimed to compare interventional and medical PFO-management in cryptogenic IS/TIA patients, including patients > 60 years. Prospective case series including consecutive cryptogenic IS/TIA patients with PFO at Tuebingen university stroke unit, Germany. 'PFO-closure' was recommended in patients ≤70 years when featuring high-risk PFO (i.e., with atrial septal aneurysm, spontaneous, or high-grade right-to-left shunt during Valsalva). Primary (recurrent IS/intracranial hemorrhage) and secondary endpoints (e.g., disability) were assessed during ≥1-year follow-up; planned subgroup analyses of patients ≤60/> 60 years. Among 236 patients with median age of 58 (range 18-88) years, 38.6% were females and median presenting National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 1 (IQR 0-4). Mean follow-up was 2.8 ± 1.3 years. No intracranial hemorrhage was observed. Recurrent IS rate after 'PFO-closure' was 2.9% (95%CI 0-6.8%) and 7% (4-16.4) in high-risk PFO patients ≤60 (n = 103) and > 60 years (n = 43), respectively, versus 4% (0-11.5) during 'medical therapy alone' MTA (n = 28). 42 low-risk PFO patients treated with MTA experienced no recurrent IS/TIA. In our real-world study, IS recurrence rate in 'PFO-closure' high-risk PFO patients ≤60 years was comparable to that observed in recent RCT. High-risk PFO patients > 60 years who underwent PFO-closure had similar IS recurrence rates than those who receivedMTA. MTA seems the appropriate treatment for low-risk PFO.
