FAQ
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.
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) (CPT‡ code +93662) during therapeutic/diagnostic intervention, including imaging supervision and interpretation (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure).
CPT® Code 33641 - Repair Procedures for Septal Defect - Codify by AAPC.
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).
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.
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 ...
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.

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.
ASD is a development issue, leaving a lasting hole. PFO is an opening that does not seal after you are born. Even though many adults have PFO, they often do not know it. A PFO is smaller than an ASD, which can be bigger and cause more issues.
More info
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). ASD is a birth defect with a gap in the heart's upper wall.This gap happens when the wall does not form right before birth. Generally an ASD hole is larger than a PFO. The larger the hole, the more likely symptoms are. Non-surgical closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD) to repair these potentially life-threatening heart defects. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD) are holes in the wall that separates the two upper chambers of your heart. 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. An ASD closure device fixes an opening between your upper heart chambers (atria).
