Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate migraine headache frequency in subjects who have migraine with aura and a patent foramen ovale (PFO, a slit-like opening between the right and left upper chambers (atria) of the heart which normally closes at or soon after birth) who are randomized to either undergo closure of the patent foramen ovale or continue with standard medical management.
