FDA Approves Amplatzer

Wow, I have spent lots of time advocating for this important stroke/PFO patient matter over many, many years but finally hard work has paid off.  The FDA announced last week the Amplatzer is now finally approved for recurrent cryptogenic stroke in certain PFO patients!  

Congrats and recognition for the commitment from the original team of PFO patients (formerly PFO Research Foundation in the US) that I began this important advocacy journey on with together. Thank you!
