FAQ

You will receive local anesthesia or a light sedative. You will be awake but should not feel any discomfort during the procedure. During PFO closure, your doctor will implant a closure device that plugs your PFO using a catheter that is threaded through a vein in your groin and guided to your heart.

Your healthcare provider may also repair the PFO by transcatheter repair or heart surgery. A transcatheter repair is less invasive than a surgical repair.

People who do not respond to medication may need a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure. Your interventional cardiologist closes the PFO with a small closure device. This is done in a cardiac catheterization (cath) laboratory.

If a PFO exists, a little blood can flow between the atria. A robotic-assisted patent foramen ovale repair is a type of minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive means that the surgery uses smaller cuts (incisions) than a traditional open heart surgery. Recovery may be easier and faster.

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.

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.

PFO treatment closes the Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) through blood thinning medicines or a catheter-based procedure to close the hole. PFO closure may be achieved through open heart surgery or through a transcatheter procedure using an occlusion device.The foramen ovale is a hole in the wall between the left and right atria of every human fetus. This hole allows blood to bypass the fetal lungs. As the heart develops in the foetus, the primum and secundum septa grow and overlap. At birth, the PFO should close. Once the pulmonary circulation is established after birth, left atrial pressure increases, allowing functional closure of the foramen ovale. Los Angeles, California.
