Why the study?
PFO is implicated in multiple medical conditions, but prior guidance focused only on left circulation thromboembolism, leaving decision making for other PFO-related conditions unaddressed.
Population
Patients with PFO-related clinical conditions beyond left circulation thromboembolism
Design
Interdisciplinary position paper using modified GRADE methodology

Clinicians gain structured options for PFO in decompression sickness and migraine; extends prior recommendations beyond thromboembolism.
This interdisciplinary position paper provides the first evidence-based approach to managing PFO in clinical scenarios beyond left circulation thromboembolism, such as decompression sickness and migraine.
Pristipino et al. (2020) conducted a review in Patent foramen ovale (PFO). Management of patent foramen ovale was evaluated. This European position paper provides evidence-based recommendations for the management of patent foramen ovale in clinical scenarios beyond left circulation thromboembolism.
