The animation shown demonstrate the path of a venous embolus and how it may transmit through a PFO and cause a stroke/TIA. The Premere PFO Closure Device is no longer available for use but the principles of percutaneous closure with an ‘umbrella’ type device remain the same.

The following videos were produced from 2010-2012 and are courtesy of the PFO Research Foundation in the United States of America who have kindly allowed us to share with you here. The majority of information provided is relevant to patients and medical practitioners from anywhere in the world.
Some of the trials and theories mentioned have been more thoroughly studied since that time. The videos are supplied as an educational guide for patients, relatives and medical practitioners wishing to understand the concepts surrounding PFO for stroke and migraine.
Special thank you to Bray Patrick-Lake and the entire USA PFO Research Foundation board for their ongoing support and tireless campaigning for the education and right of patients with PFO.
