Safety and efficacy of a novel biodegradable occluder- Pansy ® occluder compared with traditional nondegradable occluder in the closure of patent foramen ovale

Key Points

• The Pansy® occluder shows comparable efficacy for patent foramen ovale closure when compared to traditional devices.
• Both cases yielded similar safety profiles, indicating no distinct advantages of nondegradable options.
• Assessment involved head-to-head comparisons to determine the performance of both occluders.
• Significance lies in the potential for using biodegradable devices, which may reduce long-term complications.
