Hi
I’m scheduled this summer for closure for my PFO condition.
Mine is different than yours, my non oxygenated blood is mixing with my oxygenated causing me to have severe hypoxia. I’ve been on oxygen for 1 1/2 looking for the cause.
Have you now had the procedure? How did it turn out for you?

Yes, I had the procedure May 2024. The procedure went very well and recovery was easy. I did however end up going into Afib a couple of months afterwards. Ended up in the ER where I had a cardioversion that zapped me right back into rhythm. None of my docs could figure out why. One did say it might have just been my body rejecting the new device in my heart. I’ve had No problems since.
I wish you good luck and I hope you have improvements with your oxygen.
