Interesting, I hadn't heard about the bit about clots from vessel trauma in peripheral areas. Thankfully I'm getting my PFO closed in two weeks. The left and right sides of the heart should be isolated systems, and a PFO is a hole that potentially allows a clot to travel from the body side to the brain side. Hopefully if this was related to that, closing the hole will prevent such a thing from happening in the future. Apparently if the hole is closed, a clot would likely travel to the lungs, which are significantly better at coping with it than the brain is. |
