In this study, Staubach et al. [1] report the prevalence of new atrial fibrillation after percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure. The induction of atrial arrhythmias after the implantation of a device which could potentially affect atrial remodeling is a biologically plausible one and this
## Abstract ## Background: Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) is routinely performed with nonbiological devices, characterized by a persistent lowโgrade inflammatory response. We report our experience about PFO closure with a bioabsorbable device, BioSTARยฎ (NMT Inc, USA). ## Metho
## Abstract Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients with presumed paradoxical embolism yields complete occlusion in > 90% of patients using contemporary closure devices. Patients with a residual shunt after percutaneous PFO closure have been found at increased risk for recurr
