FAQ
At present, randomized data regarding PFO closure for ischemic events are limited to patients under the age of 60 or 65 years after a cerebral ischemic event with no findable putative cause other than the PFO 28. As a consequence, PFO closure is exclusively recommended for such patients in all guidelines.
However, although clinically very different, atrial septal defects (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) share a single diagnostic code (ICD-9: 745.5, ICD-10: Q21. 1).
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.
Question: How should I report PFO/ASD closure using an ICE catheter for guidance? Idaho Subscriber Answer: For patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD) closure, you should assign 93580 (Percutaneous transcatheter closure of congenital interatrial communication i.e., Fontan ...
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.
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) (CPT‡ code +93662) during therapeutic/diagnostic intervention, including imaging supervision and interpretation (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure).

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.

More info
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). Patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD) are holes in the wall that separates the two upper chambers of your heart.Generally an ASD hole is larger than a PFO. The larger the hole, the more likely symptoms are. Why do these birth defects occur? ASD is a development issue, leaving a lasting hole. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a congenital cardiac lesion which is generally asymptomatic and affects up to a quarter of the population. ASD is a defect in the septum between the heart's two upper chambers. The septum is a wall that separates the heart's left and right sides.
