How to implant the Amplatzer Talisman 
PFO Occluder

Watch the Amplatzer™ Talisman™ PFO Occluder implant procedure video.

The Amplatzer™ Talisman™ PFO Occluder is indicated for percutaneous transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) to reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke in patients, predominantly between the ages of 18 and 60 years, who have had a stroke due to a presumed paradoxical embolism, as determined by a neurologist and cardiologist following an evaluation to exclude other causes of ischemic stroke.

Among patients with a PFO who have had an ischemic stroke, the Amplatzer Talisman PFO Occluder has demonstrated excellent safety and effectiveness in reducing the risk of recurrent stroke.

One week after her PFO closure, Christine was back on the treadmill running 5 miles an hour - (Christine Lee - USA)

After Christine Lee’s stroke at age 33, her neurologist ordered a transesophageal echocardiogram to look for a PFO. Nearly 6 months after her first stroke, she had a TIA. Her neurologist then made a referral to an interventional cardiologist, and he recommended she get the PFO closure procedure within 7 days.

Hear about her experience
“I’ve had so many emails from readers who say their neurologist won’t make that referral to an interventional cardiologist. They just won’t. They want to know the name of my cardiologist, because they’re so desperate.”
