FAQ

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.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common congenital atrial septal defect with an incidence of 15–35% in the adult population.

ASD types strictly include ostium secundum (~75% of cases), ostium primum (15–20%), and sinus venosus (5–10%), while rare coronary sinus defects are closely related.

CT diagnosis of PFO was defined as (1) a channel-like appearance of the interatrial septum (IAS) and (2) a contrast agent jet flow from the left atrium (LA) to the right atrium (RA). ASD was defined as (1) the IAS resembling a membrane with a hole and (2) a contrast jet flow between the two atria.

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.

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.

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.

Having a PFO as an adult or older child is not normal. But it occurs in many people. It may be slightly more common in younger adults compared with older adults.

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.

It typically closes shortly after birth. But a PFO is not considered an ASD because no septal tissue is missing.An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the tissues separating these two chambers. Patent foramen ovale. Why do these birth defects occur? ASD is a development issue, leaving a lasting hole. Generally an ASD hole is larger than a PFO. The larger the hole, the more likely symptoms are. 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). A test called an echocardiogram is used to diagnose a PFO.
