Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common heart defect and is found in about 25% of the general population. Although randomized trials have failed to show the superiority of percutaneous closure of PFO over medical management, the number of patients with closure device placement has grown over the years. Delayed complications from PFO closure are rare. We present a case of cardioembolic stroke secondary to a mobile thrombus on a PFO closure device 8 years after implantation.
卵圆孔未闭（PFO）是一种常见的心脏缺陷，在普通人群中约25%的人存在该情况。尽管随机试验未能显示经皮闭合卵圆孔未闭比药物治疗更具优势，但多年来植入闭合装置的患者数量仍在增加。卵圆孔未闭闭合的延迟并发症很少见。我们报告一例在植入卵圆孔未闭闭合装置8年后，因装置上的移动血栓继发心脏栓塞性卒中的病例。
