The foramen secundum or ostium secundum is a foramen in the septum primum, a precursor to the interatrial septum of the human heart. It is not the same as the foramen ovale, which is an opening in the septum secundum.
It is possible to differentiate an ostium secundum ASD from a PFO on CT images. Ostium secundum ASDs are a direct communication between the two atria, whereas a PFO defect is a tunnel of variable width and length between the two atria 5. The PFO flow is usually left to right but can be bidirectional.
