Thans all for your feedback and info – specially bendOmatic for the latest papers.

The “small” size was related to a size that is considerably less than 10mm (something like 2-4mm). The recommendation of not to close it was based on the fact that during Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) the doctor could NOT see any right-to-left shunting.

I think the most important point is that PFO size could increase with age.

I also think I should consider having an other test some time soon. And in the mean while conservative deco!

Any advise regarding any center/hospital with high expertise on the field (and some good cave diving close by as well

) ??
