This is good and informative video I will most likely have a choice to do this surgery soon since I had a blood clot in my eye at the age of only 27 and the only thing they found so far is PFO that most likely caused it, sounds good that its a lifetime proceedure I been worrying its something that have to be moved or replaced..

I lived in So Mission Beach, graduated from SDSU now in homestate CT hearing I have a "hole in my heart." Start of journey but I still inline skate as in ol days on the boardwalk. I hope this procedure is done nationwide but Scripps would be fun I guess.

I had a cryptogenic stroke 2 months ago at the age of 41. I had PFO and they also found potential antiphospholipid syndrome. I'm following up on this in about a month. I performed the closure, and possibly be on blood thinners for life unfortunately. They said it might be connected to another autoimmune disease, psoriatic arthritis.
