announced the addition of GlobalData 's new report "Patent Foramen Ovale Closure
Market: Clinical Trial Outcomes to Play a Key Role" to their offering.

Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Market: Clinical Trial Outcomes to Play a Key Role

Over the last decade there has been considerable evidence gathered, relating
Patent Foramen Ovales (PFO) to migraines, cryptogenic stroke and decompression
sickeness. There is an increased frequency of PFO in patients suffering from
migraine - a frequency that almost parallels the presence of PFO in stroke.
Currently, PFO closure is indicated for prevention of recurring stroke due to
embolisms. A string of clinical trials are now underway to establish the
relation between PFO to migraine especially. A positive outcome establishing
this relation in any of these trials will lead to an increased acceptance of PFO
closure in patients with migraine, as opposed to temporary relief from drugs.
The medical device industry is also bracing itself in hope of clinical trials
like the PREMIUM, with a strong pipeline of improved PFO closure devices slated
for release in the next couple of years. Aided by this pipeline and possible
positive outcomes from the trials, the PFO market could position itself as one
with high investment opportunities.
