FAQ
Treatment most often requires a procedure called cardiac catheterization, which is performed by a trained cardiologist to permanently seal the PFO.
PFO can occasionally result in complications. The most serious of these is stroke. Most people will not need treatment for a PFO. Some people receive treatment for PFO, especially if they have had a stroke due to a PFO.
Your Recovery The procedure can help prevent a stroke in some people. Your doctor used a thin, flexible tube called a catheter to place a small device that closes the PFO. After the procedure, you may stay the night in the hospital. Or you may go home the same day.
Some researchers say a PFO closure doesn't reduce your stroke risk much more than medication. But others have found that having a catheter-based procedure for PFO closure and taking blood-thinning drugs like aspirin gives people a lower rate of stroke than people who received only aspirin.
The reported prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the general population is variable. It ranges between 8.6 and 42% ing to the population studied and the imaging technique used.
You may be asleep for the procedure, or you may get a sedative to help you relax. Your doctor makes a small cut in your groin. Then the catheter, with tools inside it, is put into your blood vessel and carefully guided to your heart. Your doctor moves the tip of the catheter to place a small device inside the PFO.
PFO/ASO Closure with ICE (93580 with 93662): Bill ICE-guided PFO closure with CPT 93580 (CardioSEALs, AMPLATZER™ Occluder, etc.). Bill 93580 has ICE/TEE codes if echocardiography was performed during PFO closure.
If a PFO exists, a little blood can flow between the atria. A robotic-assisted patent foramen ovale repair is a type of minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive means that the surgery uses smaller cuts (incisions) than a traditional open heart surgery. Recovery may be easier and faster.

A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole in the heart that didn't close the way it should after birth. Most people with a patent foramen ovale don't need treatment.The team at Arizona Heart Arrhythmia Associates can diagnose your structural heart defect and provide treatments to keep your heart working as it should. Learn more about the causes and complications of this condition in which a hole in the heart doesn't close the way it should after birth. A patent foramen ovale occurs when a hole that is always present in a newborn's heart fails to close as it should once the lungs begin to function after birth. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole in the heart that should have closed after birth. The foramen ovale is a hole in the wall between the left and right atria of every human fetus. This hole allows blood to bypass the fetal lungs. 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.
