pfo catheter based pros
by cleopas, Feb 29, 2008 11:53PM
My wife has had multiple strokes. She was on warfarin when her last stroke occurred. It was determined that she had a small hold in her heart. Therefore, the doctor suggested that a PFO catheter based pros procedure be performed. Apparently at this hospital (The University of Illinois Chicago), this procedure it is not done very often.
My question: Can you recommend a hospital in the Chicago area where this procedure would be performed more often. I have heard that the University of Chicago has a good reputation. Or does it matter. The doctor said that this procedure is not vary evasive.
Thank You

Cleveland Clinic might do a few more than that :-).
Good luck.
