FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) announces that patients have passed through the multi-month enhanced screening process and have begun entering the final randomization phase of the Gore RELIEF Clinical Study, an investigational study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) for the relief of migraine headaches utilizing the GORE® CARDIOFORM Septal Occluder, a permanently implanted device.

Key Points: 
  • The Gore RELIEF Clinical Study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) with the GORE® CARDIOFORM Septal Occluder for the relief of migraine headaches.
  • "The RELIEF Clinical Study investigates whether PFO closure may reduce the number of monthly migraine headache days for select patients.
  • No previous PFO closure migraine trial has yet included such clearly defined selection criteria designed to identify those patients expected to most likely respond to this potential,
    PFO-mediated mechanism," said Robert Sommer, M.D., National Principal Investigator, RELIEF Clinical Study.
  • "Clinical experiences have suggested a platelet-based connection between migraine and PFO, and there may be a correlation between PFO closure responsiveness and thienopyridine responsiveness.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeuraSignal, a medical technology and data company specializing in the assessment and management of brain health, today announced the publication of positive results from the BUBL clinical study (#NCT04604015) supporting the safety and superior performance of its NovaGuide Intelligent Ultrasound system in detecting Right to Left Shunt (RLS) — often due to a patent foramen ovale (PFO) — in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The data, published in Stroke, show that the NovaGuide system detected RLS that TTE missed. Importantly, NovaGuide also detected large RLS, which typically require intervention to prevent subsequent ischemic events, that were frequently missed with TTE.

Key Points: 
  • The data, published in Stroke , show that the NovaGuide system detected RLS that TTE missed.
  • Importantly, NovaGuide also detected large RLS, which typically require intervention to prevent subsequent ischemic events, that were frequently missed with TTE.
  • “An accurate assessment for RLS is a critical part of evaluating patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke.
  • The standard of care for PFO screening is TTE, an ultrasound-based approach in which the ultrasound transducer is moved across the chest to create an image of the heart.
