    • Wow! 21% of #PFO closure patients with new SVT, 83% afib. I'm sure happens with #ASD as well. Male gender, age and device size ass with⬆️risk. Big issue esp in those with device placed for stroke! @ShelbyKuttyMD @drelisabradley @alexvdbruaene https://t.co/joKlu7T0Ay

    A PFO is a hole between the left and right atria of the heart. These holes exists in all people before birth and they usually close shortly after birth, but not in all patients. Clinical trials have implicated PFOs as a conduit for thrombus emboli transferring from the venous to the arterial vasculature and causing strokes.  The concept of using a transcatheter closure device to seal off the PFO…
