PFO Closure in paradoxical embolism

PFO closure is a procedure to treat paradoxical embolism, where a blood clot travels through a patent foramen ovale (PFO) from the venous to arterial circulation, causing strokes or other complications.

During the procedure, a closure device is inserted through a catheter and deployed to seal the PFO, reducing the risk of recurrent embolic events and improving patient outcomes.
