dear ma,am
hi
POSSIBILITY of getting recurrent stroke in a case of VSD/ASD (hole in heart) is more than normal population .
risk will decrease after cardiac intervention ( asd/vsd closure ). you can go for it ,risk is moderate only .
till that time continue with preventive medications for stroke
thanx
