FAQ

Having a PFO as an adult or older child is not normal. But it occurs in many people. It may be slightly more common in younger adults compared with older adults.

When a baby's lungs begin working, blood flow through the heart changes. Now the oxygen-rich blood comes from the lungs and enters the left upper heart chamber. The pressure of the blood pumping through the heart usually forces the flap opening of the foramen ovale to close.

Definition. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between the left and right atria (upper chambers) of the heart. This hole exists in everyone before birth, but most often closes shortly after being born. PFO is what the hole is called when it fails to close naturally after a baby is born.

Healthcare providers don't know what causes the hole to stay open (patent) in some people instead of closing up. Sometimes, PFO occurs along with other heart problems. One such condition is Ebstein anomaly. It's when the valve between the upper and lower chambers on the right side of the heart doesn't close properly.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is when you have a small flap or opening between the upper right and left chambers (atria) of your heart. Everyone has this opening, called a foramen ovale, before birth. In most people, this closes after birth. Patent foramen ovale occurs when the flap still exists after birth.

Most people with a patent foramen ovale don't need treatment. If a PFO is found when an echocardiogram is done for other reasons, a procedure to close the hole usually isn't done. When treatment for a PFO is needed, it may include: Medicines.
