What We Do
Holes in the heart can be present from birth and may allow a blood clot from the right atrium to go to the left atrium, and then through your circulation system to the brain. This causes a mini stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA).
PFO Septal Occluders are a double disc design which are made of surgical grade Dacron and a metal alloy. We insert the occluder through a tube in your leg and then place the occluder in your heart to close the hole.
