FAQ

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.

If a PFO exists, a little blood can flow between the atria. A robotic-assisted patent foramen ovale repair is a type of minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive means that the surgery uses smaller cuts (incisions) than a traditional open heart surgery. Recovery may be easier and faster.

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.

A PFO closure is only utilized if a patient has experienced a stroke, and other causes of stroke and blood clots have been ruled out. A patient with a PFO without a history of stroke would not require a PFO closure and may continue to live a healthy life with this incidental finding.

Treatment most often requires a procedure called cardiac catheterization, which is performed by a trained cardiologist to permanently seal the PFO.

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.

Results: The absolute risks of ischemic stroke in patients with PFO closure and in the general population, respectively, were 1.4% (95% CI: 0.8%-2.3%) and 0.1% (95% CI: 0.0%-0.1%) at 1 year, 1.4% (95% CI: 0.8%-2.3%) and 0.2% (95% CI: 0.2%-0.4%) at 2 years, 2.2% (95% CI: 1.3%-3.5%) and 0.4% (95% CI: 0.2%-0.5%) at 3 ...

Procedures to close a patent foramen ovale include: Device closure. In this procedure, the provider inserts a thin, flexible tube called a catheter into a blood vessel in the groin area. The catheter tip has a device to plug the PFO . Surgical closure. In this heart surgery, the surgeon uses stitches to close the PFO .

A PFO closure is a procedure that can help lower the risk of a stroke for some people. Your doctor used a thin, flexible tube called a catheter to place a small device that closes the PFO.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. For children needing treatment for a PFO, we use cardiac catheterization to close the defect with a small device. Through the catheter, the cardiologist will thread a small PFO closure device into your heart and place it in the hole to seal it closed. It has been demonstrated that the prevalence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and venous thromboembo- lism (VTE) significantly increases in the elderly4.
