FAQ

A PFO is an atrial septal defect. These defects are normally repaired via catheter using a closure device such as CardioSEALs Septal Occluder. If the physician repaired the defect using a catheter, the correct CPT code is 93580.

How is patent foramen ovale treated? Antiplatelet medicines such as aspirin, to help prevent blood clots. Anticoagulant medicines such as warfarin, to help prevent blood clots. Closure of the PFO with a catheter-based procedure. Closure of the PFO during heart surgery.

What is a Congenital Heart Defect? A congenital heart defect (CHD) is an irregularity in the heart or vessel structure that exists at birth. One of the most common congenital heart defects is an atrial septal defect (ASD), including patent foramen ovale (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.

PFO often doesn't cause any symptoms and may not require treatment. But it can sometimes indicate stroke or mini-stroke. If you have a history of stroke or blood clots, your provider may suggest treatment.

Ingly, the PFO can be classified as large ( 4 mm), medium (3.9–2 mm), and small (<2 mm).

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.

PFO closure may be offered to younger patients (e.g., <30 years) with a single, small, deep stroke (<1.5 cm), a large shunt, and absence of any vascular risk factors that would lead to intrinsic small-vessel disease such as hypertension, diabetes, or hyperlipidemia (level C).
