FAQ
Your Recovery The procedure can help prevent a stroke in some people. Your doctor used a thin, flexible tube called a catheter to place a small device that closes the PFO. After the procedure, you may stay the night in the hospital. Or you may go home the same day.
The new law meant many people convicted of first-degree PFO had to serve at least 10 years in prison before being eligible for parole.
Some researchers say a PFO closure doesn't reduce your stroke risk much more than medication. But others have found that having a catheter-based procedure for PFO closure and taking blood-thinning drugs like aspirin gives people a lower rate of stroke than people who received only aspirin.
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.
Treatment most often requires a procedure called cardiac catheterization, which is performed by a trained cardiologist to permanently seal the PFO.
If a PFO exists, a little blood can flow between the atria through the flaps. This flow is not normal. The condition is most important because it raises the risk for stroke. Blood clots can travel from the right atrium to the left atrium and out to blood vessels of the body.
Most PFOs don't need to be closed. Most PFOs cause no symptoms or complications. Larger PFOs may cause stroke. People with symptomatic or large PFOs may benefit from a procedure to close the hole.
