N2 - Aims To evaluate the safety and the efficacy of fluoroscopy-guided only (Fluo-G) and of echocardiography-guided (Echo-G; trans-esophageal echocardiography - TEE - or intracardiac echocardiography-ICE) percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO). Methods and Results Single center retrospective registry enrolling 368 consecutive patients (mean age 50.5 years) who underwent PFO closure between June 2004 and December 2011. Most patients had prior cryptogenic stroke (n=126; 34.2%), TIA (n=218; 51.1%); some of these had recurrent neurological events [multiple strokes n=28 (7.8%); multiple TIAs n=72 (18.6%)]. All the patients underwent a preprocedure TEE. PFO closure was performed with Echo-G in 187 patients (50.8%) (TEE n=69, 36.8% and ICE n=124, 66.3%). In Fluo-G cases, PFO with atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) was significantly less present (P
