Background: Recent randomized trials have confirmed the role of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure in the secondary prevention of cryptogenic stroke. Guidelines have suggested a central role for intraprocedural imaging using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). However, this modality may not be required to achieve safe and effective closure. We aimed to examine the periprocedural outcomes of PFO closure retrospectively, using fluoroscopic guidance in patients with cryptogenic stroke, with provisional ICE guidance driven by anatomic and procedural factors. Methods: A retrospective chart review of consecutive patients who underwent PFO closure in a single centre using the Amplatzer PFO occluder (AGA Medical Corporation, Plymouth, Minnesota) for crypto-genic stroke was conducted. Outcomes analyzed included procedural data, periprocedural complications, length of stay, and factors contributing to the use of intraprocedural imaging. Results: Between 2006 and 2017, 467 patients underwent PFO closure for cryptogenic stroke with the Amplatzer PFO occluder; 381 patients underwent closure with fluoroscopy alone, and 86 with ICE and fluoroscopic guidance. Periprocedural arrhythmic complications occurred in 1.3% in the fluoroscopy group and 1.2% in the ICE group (P = 1.000). Vascular complications occurred in 0.5% in the fluoroscopy group and 2.3% (P = 0.323) in the ICE group. One device embolized requiring surgical intervention. There was no in-hospital mortality or stroke. Same-day discharge occurred in 97.6% of patients. Conclusion: Our single-centre experience suggests that PFO closure can be safely conducted under fluoroscopic guidance alone with provisional adjunctive ICE use limited to specific anatomic situations.
