Hi Francine, here is my story!

I had a massive stroke at 29 y/o in October 2021. They determined that it was caused by a large PFO. I ended up having closure in December 2021 with a 30mm Gore Cardioform Septal Occluder. My PFO was pretty complex as it was mixed with a ASA and ASD. I have not developed A-Fib and I'm 4 years post closure. It was the best decision to get it fixed. 🙂

Good luck!
