Denise,
thanks for the input, it really sounds like you have been thru a lot
for someone so young. I have no intention of participating in a trial,
there is no way I would be involved in a study where I might get the
'placebo'. See my reply to Dirk with regards to smoking. After losing
a parent because of smoking, I totally understand how you feel about it.

I am only interested in finding out where the PFO closure surgery is
in relationship to FDA approval. Also, wondering if there is any kind
of movement to make the surgery accessible to people BEFORE they get a
stroke?
