A multicenter analysis of implantable monitoring device-based diagnosis of supraventricular arrhythmia post patent foramen ovale closure: the OCCL-ILR study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent data suggest that the true incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure has probably been underestimated, and may differ according to the type of closing device used.

Objectives

On the basis of continuous rhythm monitoring with an implantable device, this study aims to assess the incidence of  supraventricular arrhythmia following PFO closure with the Occlutech PFO device.

Methods

This is a multicentric analysis of consecutive PFO closure patients treated with an Occlutech device between 01/01/2019 and 20/03/2024, with an implantable loop recorder (IRL) (or a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator) implanted for at least 3 months preceding the procedure, and with available follow-up for at least 1month p
