I recently had a stroke of some significances and the doctor told me that it was caused by a hole between my atrium chambers . He said that blood clots from my legs were jumping over from one side of the heart to the other and on up into my brain. He told me that there was really no surgery at this time that he deemed safe . Is that true and if not could you please fill me on what is available and my be refer me the best doctor that is suited for my condition. I have a deep concern to get this taken care of quickly as I am only 41 years old.
