Marsha,
That depends on many things -- the health of the patient, how it didn't heal properly, etc.
I'm sorry, but we just can't answer this question. It can only be answered by a doctor who has access to films and other test results and can examine you. If you're uncertain of the answers from the cardiologist who performed the PFO closure, see another cardiologist for a second opinion.
Best of luck to you,
Teri
