What Possible Complications Can Occur?
No procedure is risk-free and you have to compare the potential benefits with the potential risks. Complications
with the use of the Amplatzer and Gore Cardioform devices are rare, and the following events have been described:
1) Atrial fibrillation: In the trials, up to 5% of people who had a device implanted developed atrial fibrillation. This
was usually transient (a single episode) but could last on and off for several (2e6) weeks. Since blood clots can
form during atrial fibrillation and cause a stroke, there may be a need for blood thinners and antiarrhythmic
medication for 1e3 months.
2) Chest pain: About 1 in 500 people develop severe chest pain, which we believe is due to excessive scar tissue
formation over the device. If this does not go away within the first 1e3 months, either spontaneously or with
antiinflammatory medical therapy, then the only way to treat this is to remove the device. Since there is so
much scar tissue, the device cannot be removed with a catheter and you would have to undergo open-heart
surgery.
3) Blood clot: This could form on the device. Since these devices are made of foreign substances, the body may
respond by forming blood clots on it. We used TEE at 1e6 months post implant in thousands of patients to
determine if there were any blood clots on the device, but have not observed any blood clots on our patients who
have received Amplatzer or Gore devices. This somewhat unpleasant method to check the device is no longer
routine. Within 3e6 months, the body covers these devices with fibrous scar tissue. We believe that this prevents
future clots from forming. To help prevent these blood clots from forming, we place patients on weak blood
thinners for a short period of time. We are currently using acetylsalicylic acid for 1 year and clopidogrel for
1 month after implant, medications that inhibit platelets in the blood from initiating blood clots. Other centers
may use shorter periods for these drugs.
4) Infection: Since these devices are foreign substances, they could catch bacteria that pass through the bloodstream.
Bacteria may get into a person’s bloodstream during surgery, but also during dental cleaning. To prevent infection
of the freshly implanted device, patients should avoid dental work for 3 months and take antibiotics
prophylactically, that means 1 h before any dental procedures and when other invasive procedures are
performed. This is the same recommendation as for patients who have a prosthetic heart valve, but in most
centers, this recommendation is limited to the first 3e12 months after PFO closure.
5) Erosion: Worldwide, there have been 1,000,000 Amplatzer devices implanted to close ASDs (large holes in the
heart) or PFOs. There are 200 reports (<1 in 5000) where the device has caused an erosion in the wall of the heart.
This rare event, however, has generally required open-heart surgery to correct the condition and resulted in death
in a few patients. Most of these episodes occurred with the larger ASD devices.
Of the 40,000 Gore Cardioform devices delivered to date, there are 2 reports of perforation of the heart wall due
to a fracture of one of the scaffold wires. This can cause blood to form in the sac around the
heart (hemopericardium) and may require emergency evacuation as well as surgical removal of the device.
6) Major complication: It is extremely rare to have a severe complication such as a stroke, heart damage, or death
from a PFO closure procedure. These serious problems have not occurred in our practice.
What Side Effects Can Occur With the PFO Closure Device?
In addition to the possible complications associated with this device, there are 2 side effects that some people have
described.
1) Since this is a foreign substance in the heart, it is possible that the device can irritate the heart chambers in which it
is placed. This often causes palpitations or irregular heartbeats and potentially could cause persisten t
arrhythmias, that is, sustained irregular heartbeats. Depending on how bothersome and chronic these
palpitations are, the patient may be given medications to treat the arrhythmia or need a blood thinner.
2) Some patients report an increased incidence of headaches in the 1e2 months following placement of the device.
Most of these patients have had a history of migraine in the past, so it is difficult to know whether this effect is
caused by the device. On the other hand, a number of reports suggest that chronic migraine headaches may be
diminished in the long run following closure of the PFO.
3) More than 10% of people are allergic to nickel, which is contained in almost all septal closure devices. The
shedding of nickel from these devices is, however, minimal and temporary. Although device explantation for that
reason has been described, the respective risk is so small that prior testing is not warranted.

RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIALS OF PFO CLOSURE FOR STROKE 231
https://t.me/med1917
What Instructions Must I Follow After I Have a PFO Closure Device Placed?
Some operators deem no restrictions necessary. To prevent dislodgment of the device, we recommend that no
strenuous physical activity be performed for 1 month following the device implantation. If you have a desk job,
you could return to work 2 days after the procedure. Do not lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for 2 weeks.
You will need to take acetylsalicylic acid (at least 81 mg) for 3e12 months and clopidogrel 75 mg for 1 month. You
should return within 1e3 months for a follow-up transthoracic (in some centers transesophageal) echocardiogram or
transcranial Doppler ultrasound examination.
You will need to take antibiotics, usually amoxicillin, before any dental work, at least in the first months. This will
prevent any infection getting started on the device. If you are allergic to penicillin, an alternative antibiotic can be
used.
Could My PFO Have Contributed to My Transient Ischemic Attack?
It is definitely possible. The question is, did you have a TIA, which is assumed to be due to a small blood clot (an
embolus) that came from the legs, up the vein s to the right side of the heart, and then crossed through the PFO over
to the left atrium, and went up to your brain, or did you actually have a complex migraine? A complex migraine also
causes transient neurologic deficits (numbness, tingling, and weakness), which can last 20 min to a few hours.
Neither a TIA nor a complex migraine causes a defect to be seen on a brain MRI. Migraine is more common in people
with a PFO (about 50% of people with PFO have migraines) and is thought to be due to a chemical or venous (low
oxygenated) blood that goes across the PFO and travels to the brain where the chemical triggers a migraine in sus-
ceptible people. Things that we would evaluate in your history include a history of migraines, previous headaches,
and visual disturbances like shimmering waves or bright zigzag lines.
If you have had previous transient numbness on the same side and place, it would be unusual for a blood clot to
go to the same spot on 2 different occasions. If that is the case, a complex migraine with transient neurologic deficit
would be the more likely diagnosis. However, a complex migraine may wel l be triggered by a PFO and PFO closure
might cure it.
Why Was My PFO Not Previously Detected? Is Echocardiography the Only Way to Diagnose This?
The best noninvasive way to detect a PFO is by using some sort of contrast agent during an echocardiography
(either transth oracic or transesophageal or by transcranial Doppler). Each method has its pros and cons, but each
requires an intravenous injection of contrast solution creating microbubbles that are detected by the ultrasound.
A PFO does not make any murmur that can be picked up during a physical exam, like with a stethoscope. That
is why it is never diagnosed by a routine physical exam or an electrocardiogram (ECG). The ultimate way to confirm
the presence of a PFO is with a heart catheterization where a guidewire is passed across the atrial septum. That
proves that there is still a connection between the upper 2 heart chambers, which should have closed after birth.
I Had a Transient Ischemic Attack; Are There Any Other Tests You Would Recommend for Me?
Another cause of emboli to the brain is an arrhythmia called atrial fibrillation. Even if a simple ECG does not show
any abnormality, it would be good to be thorough and get an extended ECG monitor for days or even weeks.
How Soon Should I Have This Procedure?
If you had a TIA, there is less emergency than if you had an MRI-documented stroke. In every case, it is advisable
to get it closed as soon as your specialist has concluded that your stroke could have been caused by your PFO.
What Is the Recovery Like?
The catheter-based procedure is very simple. We do it on an outpatient basis. The groin may be bruised for a few
days and there are rare cases of bleeding in the groin after the procedure. Most people can go back to work in a few
days. The devices are well tolerated but may cause mild transient chest discomfort, like something pulling inside, for
the first month. Acetaminophen can be given if needed. People eventually can get back to their regular exercise and
have participated in marathon or Ironman races after closure.
VII. SAFETY, TECHNICAL ASPECTS TO PFO CLOSURE, AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
19. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: PFO CLOSURE WITH THE AMPLATZER OR GORE CARDIOFORM DEVICES232
https://t.me/med1917
Is There Any Exclusion Criteria to Device Closure?
We have not come across a PFO that could not be closed. Even the presence of an inferior vena cava filter is not a
problem. If the vein from the groin to the heart is blocked, we have placed the PFO closure device from the neck vein.
Will I Be Able to Feel the Device?
Most people tolerate the device once it becomes covered with scar tissue and do not feel it. Sometimes people tell
us that they can feel a tugging sensation, which is not painful, especially when they turn on their left side in bed.
Can I Travel With the Implanted Device? Will the Device Trigger Airport Security Systems?
Yes, you may travel with an implanted device. In case you have a patient identification card, just take it along
while traveling. The device will not trigger airport security systems. There is much less metal in the device than
in frames for glasses or wedding bands. Furthermore, metal parts in both the Amplatzer and Gore Cardioform de-
vices are made of an alloy of nickel and titanium, which are only weakly magnetic and cannot trigger magnetic
detection devices.
Can I Have a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study After Having the Device Implanted?
Yes, the PFO closure devices are made from nonferromagnetic metal and are therefore compatible with magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). The device, however, cannot be checked by MRI.
Can I Have My PFO Closed if I Am Pregnant?
Pregnancy per se is not a contraindication to placing a PFO closure device, especially if the stroke occurred during
pregnancy. However, since the PFO closure device is placed using X-ray guidance during a catheter-based proced-
ure, the risk of X-ray exposure must be weighed against the potential benefits of the procedure. Hence, you should
discuss this issue with your treating physician. For the rare cases that cannot wait, there is an option to perform PFO
closure without using X-rays at all.
In Your Expert Opinion, Is There Anything Else I Should Know or Consider Prior to Having My PFO
Closed?
On the TEE, you may have a large PFO or an atrial septum that is flimsy (atrial septal aneurysm). These factors
increase your risk of having a stroke through the PFO. So that pushes us toward strongly recommending to have
your PFO closed. Additionally, the separation of the septum (wall) dividing the right and left atrium may be incom-
plete. This is called an ASD and that alone justifies that the defect should be closed (and there is FDA approval for
that). For unusual cases, it is advisable to go to a large hospital, where they have done a lot of PFO/ASD closures
(like more than 300).
