description <b>Background:</b> Transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is performed in cryptogenic stroke and other conditions. Information is lacking for some devices. <b>Methods:</b> We aimed to evaluate the Figulla Flex II PFO Occluder (FFP) and Figulla Flex UNI Occluder (FFU) through a retrospective multi-center registry. <b>Results</b>: 527 patients were included. Mean age was 48.9 (±13.8) years. The procedure was under transthoracic, transesophageal or intracardiac echocardiography in 185 (35.1%), 193 (36.6%) and 149 (28.3%) cases, respectively, and under general anesthesia in 191 patients (36.2%). The FFP and FFU were used in 408 (77.4%) and 119 (22.6%) cases, respectively. The success rate was 99.1%. Median follow-up was 1.1 (0.5–2.5) years. A new atrial fibrillation/flutter within six months occurred in 14 (2.7%) cases, with no difference between devices. One device embolization in the pulmonary artery was identified two years post-procedure. Residual shunts occurred in 18 (6.9%) cases at 1 year, with TIA in three (16.6%) patients. Out of 437 patients with stroke/TIA, 260 (59%) were followed more than one year after closure. Median follow-up was 2.1 (1.17–3.1) years, with four recurrent strokes/TIA. <b>Conclusions:</b> The FFP and FFU devices are safe and effective for PFO closure, with very few atrial fibrillation/flutter and neurologic events, except in cases with a residual shunt.
