What is the risk of new onset atrial fibrillation following patent foramen ovale closure?
Patients undergoing patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure (including use of the STARFlex device)
New onset atrial fibrillationsafety
New onset atrial fibrillation is a relatively uncommon, typically self-limited complication of PFO closure, though risk is elevated in older patients and those receiving the STARFlex device.
The number of patients in whom atrial fibrillation was detected was relatively low. It is often a self-limited complication of PFO closure that may occur more frequently in elderly patients and those treated with the STARFlex device.
