FAQ
If you have a patent foramen ovale and had a stroke, your provider may refer you to a doctor trained in brain and nervous system conditions. This type of provider is called a neurologist.
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.
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 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.
Treatment most often requires a procedure called cardiac catheterization, which is performed by a trained cardiologist to permanently seal the PFO.
The new law meant many people convicted of first-degree PFO had to serve at least 10 years in prison before being eligible for parole.
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.
For those patients who need or want to avoid PFO, the panel judged anticoagulation the best alternative, although the evidence regarding stroke reduction was of low certainty. The risk of major bleeding probably increased with anticoagulation.

PFO treatment closes the Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) through blood thinning medicines or a catheter-based procedure to close the hole. Most people with a patent foramen ovale don't need treatment.Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between your heart's upper chambers. A patent foramen ovale occurs when a hole that is always present in a newborn's heart fails to close as it should once the lungs begin to function after birth. Percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) reduces stroke in appropriately selected patients (1). How is Patent Foramen Ovale Treated? Interventional Cardiologist, Sarah Elsayed, M.D., discusses how PFOs occur, signs and symptoms, and treatment options available. Tags.
