Eleven randomized studies were included (n = 5706).Main Outcomes: The primary efficacy outcome was recurrence of ischemic stroke, including fatal and non-fatal ischemic strokes. The primary safety outcome was major hemorrhage, but closure surgery includes systemic thrombotic events, persistent atrial fibrillation, surgical deaths and other major events.Results: In terms of efficacy and safety events, compared with antiplatelet, the OR of vitamin K antagonists for stroke recurrence was 0.81 (95% CI, 0.41– 1.6), the OR of surgical closure was 0.38 (95% CI, 0.16– 0.63), and the OR of NOAC was 0.79 (95% CI, 0.27– 2.3). Compared with antiplatelet, the safety event OR of vitamin K antagonists was 1.7 (95% CI, 0.65– 4.8), the OR of surgical closure was 1.7 (95% CI, 0.68– 3.8), and the OR of NOAC was 2.2 (95% CI, 0.67– 7.6).Conclusion: In terms of effectiveness, surgical occlusion has the best performance, while anticoagulation is the second best. Vitamin K antagonists and non-vitamin K antagonists are difficult to distinguish between the best in effectiveness. Antiplatelet drugs are considered the worst option. Regarding the safety results, it is generally believed that there are no obvious beneficial interventions, but antiplatelet drugs are considered to be relatively best, followed by surgical intervention and vitamin K antagonists, and non-vitamin K antagonists are considered to be the least safe.Keywords: cryptogenic stroke, patent foramen ovale, PFO, treatment strategies, network meta-analysisShen YNie QZhang YCao QHou ZXu LDove Medical Pressarticlecryptogenic strokepatent foramen ovalepfotreatment strategies;network meta-analysisNeurosciences.
