PFO Closure Rate
PFO closure success will be defined as the number of cases which achieve effective PFO closure at 12 months post-initial procedure out of those which complete the PFO closure evaluation under Trans-Thoracic Echocardiography (TTE) with bubbles. PFO effective closure will be defined as the number of bubbles confirmed to be less than 20 (\<20).
Time frame: 12 months
Rate of Conversion to surgical procedure
Rate of post-procedure conversion to surgical procedure will be calculated.
Time frame: Discharge
Incidence rate of post-procedure ischemic stroke events
