FAQ

Anyone can have patent foramen ovale regardless of gender, ethnicity or race. PFO is frequently found in: Divers with decompression illness (air embolism), when air bubbles block your vein or artery due to an environmental pressure change. People who've had a stroke of unknown cause (cryptogenic stroke).

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.

Definition. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between the left and right atria (upper chambers) of the heart. This hole exists in everyone before birth, but most often closes shortly after being born. PFO is what the hole is called when it fails to close naturally after a baby is born.

Healthcare providers don't know what causes the hole to stay open (patent) in some people instead of closing up. Sometimes, PFO occurs along with other heart problems. One such condition is Ebstein anomaly. It's when the valve between the upper and lower chambers on the right side of the heart doesn't close properly.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is when you have a small flap or opening between the upper right and left chambers (atria) of your heart. Everyone has this opening, called a foramen ovale, before birth. In most people, this closes after birth. Patent foramen ovale occurs when the flap still exists after birth.

When a baby's lungs begin working, blood flow through the heart changes. Now the oxygen-rich blood comes from the lungs and enters the left upper heart chamber. The pressure of the blood pumping through the heart usually forces the flap opening of the foramen ovale to close.

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.

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.

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.How is a PFO treated? Treatment is a catheter procedure or surgery to close the opening in the heart. PFO treatment closes the Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) through blood thinning medicines or a catheter-based procedure to close the hole. However, it may cause serious complications under certain circumstances. In roughly 75 percent of cases, the hole, called a patent foramen ovale (PFO), closes on its own and requires no treatment. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole in the wall between the heart's two upper chambers (atria). Before birth all babies have this opening. This document addresses the transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale and transcatheter or open left atrial appendage (LAA) closure.
