Data on patient demographics, risk factors, procedural details, post-interventional complications, and recurrent stroke/TIA were collected from electronic medical records.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>PFO closure was performed in 310 patients (median age: 49 years). During a median follow-up of 2.6 years (interquartile range: 1.5-3.6, 814 total patient-years), recurrent stroke/TIA was observed in 8 patients (2.6%), or 0.98 recurrent strokes per 100 patient-years. Recurrent stroke/TIA was more frequent in patients with hypertension (50.0% vs. 16.9%, p = 0.039). Recurrent stroke/TIA was related to thrombophilia or hematologic conditions entailing hypercoagulability in 62.5% of patients.
