FAQ

``In simplistic terms, a PFO is the result of incomplete closure of atrial tissue, whereas an ASD is the result of complete absence of such tissue between the right and left atrial heart chambers.''

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.

How to manage patent foramen ovale Eating a healthy diet. Getting enough exercise and avoiding obesity. Taking medicines for high blood pressure or high cholesterol, as needed. Not smoking. Getting treatment for other health conditions that increase the risk for stroke. Avoiding excess alcohol use or illicit drugs.

A note from Cleveland Clinic Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a small communication between the upper right and left chambers of your heart. PFO affects about 25% of people. PFO often doesn't cause any symptoms and may not require treatment. But it can sometimes indicate stroke or mini-stroke.

In most affected people the defect was a large PFO, but in some there was a secundum ASD or both an ASD and PFO.

A healthcare provider may recommend a PFO closure procedure if: You've had a transient ischemic attack (TIA) more than once. You've had cryptogenic (from an unknown cause) strokes more than once. You have a low level of oxygen in your blood.

A patent foramen ovale, or PFO, is a special type of hole between the upper chambers of the heart. While an Atrial Septal Defect is always considered a structural abnormality in the heart, everyone at birth has a PFO.

In most affected people the defect was a large PFO, but in some there was a secundum ASD or both an ASD and PFO.

PFO closure is usually considered to prevent recurrent embolic stroke/systemic arterial embolization, ASD closure is indicated in patients with large left-to-right shunt, right ventricular volume overload, and normal pulmonary vascular resistance.

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.

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). ASD is a birth defect with a gap in the heart's upper wall.This gap happens when the wall does not form right before birth. Generally an ASD hole is larger than a PFO. The larger the hole, the more likely symptoms are. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD) are holes in the wall that separates the two upper chambers of your heart. 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.
