Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Success rate of effective occlusion180 days after surgery

Effective occlusion was defined as: 180 days after the surgery, Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showed that the position and shape of the occluder were normal, and no horizontal atrial shunt was observed. Re-examination by Contrast transthoracic echocardiography (cTTE) showed no or only a small amount of right-to-left shunt, that is, no microvesicles or less than 10 microvesicles/frame in left heart cavity after Valsalva and resting state.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Success rate of occluder implantation technology7 days after surgery

The success of occluder implantation technology is defined as successful intraoperative implantation of occluder and immediate Echocardiography confirmed that the shape and position of the sealing device were appropriate, no new pericardial effusion or valve regurgitation was found, and the perioperative patients survived.

Success rate of complete occlusion180 days after surgery

Complete occlusion was defined as the Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showing occlusion 180 days after surgery The position and shape of the apparatus were normal, and no horizontal atrial shunt was observed. The results of Contrast transthoracic echocardiography (cTTE) were reviewed there was no right-to-left shunt, that is, no microbubbles in the left heart cavity after Valsalva and resting state.

Success rate of effective occlusion360 days after surgery

Success rate of effective occlusion was defined as: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showed the position and shape of the occluder 360 days after the operation Normal condition, no horizontal atrial shunt; Reexamination by Contrast transthoracic echocardiography (cTTE) showed no or few results in other words, there were no microbubbles or less than 10 microbubbles in the left heart cavity after Valsalva and resting state.

All-cause mortality rate360 days, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years after surgery

All-cause death is defined as death from any cause during the follow-up period.

Incidence of device-related serious adverse events during follow-up (including device-related thrombosis, embolic stroke, and peripheral stroke)360 days, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years after surgery

Arterial embolism, Atrioventricular block III degree, heart abrasion, infective endocarditis, severe hemolytic anemia, etc.);

Success rate of surgical implantation of occlusion7 days after surgery

Successful occluder implantation was defined as successful implantation of occluder and routine postoperative hospitalization that there were no serious adverse events related to surgery.

Recurrence or incidence of cryptogenic stroke during follow-up360 days, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years after surgery

Cryptogenic stroke was defined as a new focal cerebral ischemia confirmed by neuroimaging (cranial MRI or CT), which was performed After extensive vascular, cardiac, and blood evaluation, non-atherosclerotic, cardiogenic, or arteriolar obliterators were identified Cerebral infarction caused by the diagnosis of exclusion.

Incidence of new atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter during follow-up period360 days, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years after surgery

atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter

Incidence of device defects.360 days, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years after surgery

Device defects refer to unreasonable risks that may endanger human health and safety under normal use of medical devices in clinical trials, such as label errors, quality problems and failures.
