I had a heart procedure - a PFO closure
A year and a half ago I discovered a congenital heart condition - a Patent Foramen Ovale - a channel between one's right and left atrium. Yesterday I had it closed. They put a device in my heart and I was at home relaxing on my porch by afternoon! People with PFOs are at higher risk for stroke. If you would like to know more, click on the pictures below for diagrams, a picture of the closure device and information on PFO.
