AI Article Synopsis
- The study looked at two ways to close a hole in the heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO) to prevent blood clots, using either fluoroscopy (FS) or both fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiography (TOE) for guidance.
- They analyzed 203 patients and found that using FS alone was faster, but both methods achieved similar success rates in closing the PFO at 6 months.
- No significant differences were found in complications or reoccurring heart issues between the two methods, suggesting FS-only guidance is just as effective as using both TOE and FS.
