This study is tracking patients who have had a procedure to close a small hole in the heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Researchers want to understand how well the closure works over many years and what factors help predict the best outcomes. The study includes both patients treated in the past (going back to 2010) and new patients who will be followed regularly into the future.
Many people have a small hole in the heart that can increase stroke risk, and doctors often close it with a minimally invasive procedure. However, doctors need more information about how safe and effective this treatment is over the long term, and which patients benefit most from having it done.

If you join the study, you may be part of a group whose past medical records will be reviewed, or you may be followed prospectively with scheduled check-up visits at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and up to 10 years after your procedure. During these visits, you will have heart ultrasounds and routine health assessments to monitor how well your heart hole closure is working and whether you experience any complications or new heart events.
