Usually, patent foramen ovale causes no problems. But PFO may let a blood clot travel from the right to the left side of your heart. Your heart could pump the clot into your body. If the clot reaches your brain, it could cut off the blood supply.

Rarely, a patent foramen ovale can cause a significant amount of blood to go around the lungs. This lowers blood oxygen levels, a condition called hypoxemia. Stroke. Sometimes small blood clots in veins may travel to the heart.

The procedure involves making a small incision, typically in the groin, and inserting a small tube, called a catheter or sheath, to navigate through the blood vessels to the procedure site within the heart. In patients with a PFO, the doctor guides the closure device through the catheter or sheath to seal the PFO.

If a PFO exists, tiny air bubbles will be seen moving from the right to left side of the heart.
