Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with intracardiac thrombus or tumor
  • Subjects who have an acute or recent (within 6 months) myocardial infarction or unstable angina
  • Subjects with left ventricular aneurysm or akinesis
  • Subjects with atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (chronic or intermittent)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Transcatheter closure group
Migraine patients with patent foreman ovale (PFO),who meet the criteria and agree to conduct closure of patent foramen ovale will be selected to this group.
No Intervention: Contrast group
Migraine patients with PFO,who meet the criteria but don't agree to conduct closure of patent foramen ovale will be selected to this group.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Contrast-enhanced Transcranial Doppler
Time Frame: within one year period
Patients in transcatheter closure group are required to perform contrast-enhanced Transcranial Doppler at 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and 1 year after closure, respectively.
within one year period

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Headache Impact Test-6
Time Frame: within one year period, at least 3 months
All patients complete HIT-6 score at baseline. Patients in transcatheter closure group follow-up at 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and 1 year after closure, respectively. Patients in contrast group follow-up twice during one year period.
within one year period, at least 3 months
