FAQ
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.
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 ...

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.
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.
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).
Over 40 adults with ASD might face rhythm troubles, like atrial fibrillation, which could lead to stroke or lung pressure problems. PFO is usually less of a worry but can still cause strokes or mini-strokes when clots travel through to the brain.
The “defect” from a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), similar to the patent foramen ovale (PFO), is a persistent communication between the two large vessels originating from the heart (the aorta and the pulmonary artery) that usually closes soon after birth.
More info
Generally an ASD hole is larger than a PFO. The larger the hole, the more likely symptoms are.Patent foramen ovale closure is a procedure to close a hole in the heart. We use minimally invasive approaches to treat PFO without open-chest surgery. At Temple, ASD repair is often done via a catheter inserted into the heart, rather than open surgery. Atrial septal defect (ASD) closure is a procedure to close a hole in the heart. Interventional cardiologists use minimally invasive methods to ASD closure. Why do these birth defects occur? ASD is a development issue, leaving a lasting hole. Note how this appearance is different from that of a patent foramen ovale.
