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.
Treatment most often requires a procedure called cardiac catheterization, which is performed by a trained cardiologist to permanently seal the PFO.
Your healthcare provider may also repair the PFO by transcatheter repair or heart surgery. A transcatheter repair is less invasive than a surgical repair.
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.
The two most likely ways to qualify as a Persistent Felony Offender are (1) having been released from incarceration for a previous felony within the five (5) years of committing another felony and; (2) committing a felony while on any type of post incarceration supervision.
If you have a history of stroke or blood clots, your provider may suggest treatment. Treatments include medications, catheterization and surgery. Most people with patent foramen ovale can lead full lives.
After 5 days, no heavy activity that causes deep/heavy breathing for 6-8 weeks. No driving for 5 days. No tub baths, swimming, or hot tubs for 7 days. Most patients return to work within one week.
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.
