FAQ
People who had a PFO closure had a risk of stroke at least 45% lower than people who took the medicine but didn't have a procedure.
By closing the defects, the workload on the heart is decreased, reducing the risk of developing heart failure over time. Patients who undergo PFO & ASD closure often experience improved energy levels, reduced fatigue, and an overall enhanced quality of life.
Expect tenderness or a small bump (size of a quarter) at the procedure site. Bruising is also common at the procedure site. Possible sensations in the chest: palpitations, chest discomfort, or pressure. This is very common about 2 weeks to 6 weeks post closure; usually treatment is NOT required.
Conclusions: The data collected in this study demonstrate that percutaneous PFO closure is a safe and effective procedure, showing long-term prevention of recurrent cerebrovascular events, significant reduction in migraine symptoms and substantial improvement in quality of life.
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.
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.
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.
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.
