Dr Chris Lekich
Dr Lekich – Medical Director of Hole in the Heart Clinic has accumulated extensive experience in identifying PFOs through the reliability of the TCD test and works closely with structural cardiologists to facilitate the closures.
Dr Lekich recommends the TCD over other forms of testing, such as
echocardiography, as recent studies have proven the TCD to be overwhelmingly more accurate.
