If you were born with a hole in your heart that never closed, known as a patent foramen ovale (PFO), you may need a procedure to correct it. Penn Medicine cardiologists use interventional techniques to close a patent foramen ovale without opening your chest for surgery.

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.

During the procedure, an interventional cardiologist: Makes a tiny incision in your groin and inserts a catheter into a blood vessel. Uses ultrasound imaging to get a closer view of the PFO. May guide a deflated balloon through the catheter and move it to the PFO.

Small holes between the upper chambers of the heart may be categorized as an atrial septal defect (ASD) or patent foramen ovale (PFO). An ASD is a congenital heart defect, a condition that you are born with. PFOs can occur only after birth when the foramen ovale fails to close.

Question: How should I report PFO/ASD closure using an ICE catheter for guidance? Idaho Subscriber Answer: For patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD) closure, you should assign 93580 (Percutaneous transcatheter closure of congenital interatrial communication i.e., Fontan ...

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.

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.

Why do these birth defects occur? ASD is a development issue, leaving a lasting hole.There are two types of holes which can be present between the upper chambers of the heart: an Atrial septal defect (ASD) and a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Generally an ASD hole is larger than a PFO. The larger the hole, the more likely symptoms are. Unlike a PFO, it is a congenital defect that only some are born with. A test called an echocardiogram is used to diagnose a PFO. The test uses sound waves to create pictures of the beating heart. An ASD is a congenital heart defect, a condition that you are born with. PFOs can occur only after birth when the foramen ovale fails to close.
