Brief Summary
This study aims to assess the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF), documented using data recorded by an implantable Holter monitoring device (Reveal Linq, Medtronic) within 2 years after percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale for cryptogenic stroke.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Atrial fibrillation
Occurrence of documented atrial fibrillation (i.e. at least one episode lasting 30 seconds)
Within 2 months after percutaneous PFO closure

- +1 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (1)
Patients planned for percutaneous PFO closure
Patients will undergo implantation of a Holter device (Reveal Linq Medtronic) 2 months prior to percutaneous PFO closure. Devices will be monitored by telemonitoring until the PFO closure procedure, and at 2, 12 and 24 months after the procedure.
Interventions
Implantation of a Holter device (Reveal Linq, Medtronic) for telemonitoring of cardiac rhythm
Patients will undergo percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale
Eligibility Criteria
Prospective patients who have had cryptogenic stroke (ischemic only) and with patent foramen ovale confirmed by transoesophageal echocardiography, with an indication for percutaneous closure.
You may qualify if:
- Adult patients (aged \>18 years)
- with an indication for percutaneous closure of PFO due to cryptogenic stroke, with indication validated by a cardio-neurological team.
- patients must provide written informed consent
- patients must be affiliated to a social security regime or be a beneficiary thereof.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients under legal protection
- Patients not affiliated to any social security regime
