All,

The PFO test carries no risk at all - the repair is a heart op via a small inscision in the groin - like all ops you go under for, it carries a small risk.

I am no Doctor.

Guys, you have to remember that newbies read this site avidly..please think long and hard before posting on the medical issues

Your perception of the risks inherent in these procedures is inaccurate.

Similarly the PFO situation is by no means clear. If it was it would be a simple issue, rather than one of considerable debate. What little evidence there is in the literature does not settle the matter and is at times conflicting.
