FAQ

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.

PFO/ASO Closure with ICE (93580 with 93662): Bill ICE-guided PFO closure with CPT 93580 (CardioSEALs, AMPLATZER™ Occluder, etc.). Bill 93580 has ICE/TEE codes if echocardiography was performed during PFO closure.

You may be asleep for the procedure, or you may get a sedative to help you relax. Your doctor makes a small cut in your groin. Then the catheter, with tools inside it, is put into your blood vessel and carefully guided to your heart. Your doctor moves the tip of the catheter to place a small device inside the PFO.

If you have a PFO larger than 25 millimeters, a provider will probably do PFO closure surgery instead of using the catheter method.

Your groin may have a bruise and feel sore for a few days. This is where the catheter was inserted into your blood vessel. You can do light activities around your home. But don't do anything strenuous until your doctor says it is okay.

Most PFOs don't need to be closed. Most PFOs cause no symptoms or complications. Larger PFOs may cause stroke. People with symptomatic or large PFOs may benefit from a procedure to close the hole.

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.

During transcatheter repair, a healthcare provider inserts a device that can plug up the PFO. This device attaches to the end of a long, flexible tube called a catheter. The healthcare provider inserts the catheter through a blood vessel in the groin and guides it to the 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.

An interventional cardiologist inserts a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) into a large artery in the groin. Interventional Cardiac Procedures in adults with congenital heart disease and patent foramen ovale.Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between your heart's upper chambers. 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. A test called an echocardiogram is used to diagnose a PFO. The test uses sound waves to create pictures of the beating heart. A PFO closure uses a medical device to close an opening between your heart's two upper chambers. You only need this opening as a fetus. Patent foramen transcatheter repair is a procedure to fix this hole in the heart.
