FAQ
Healthcare providers don't know what causes the hole to stay open (patent) in some people instead of closing up. Sometimes, PFO occurs along with other heart problems. One such condition is Ebstein anomaly. It's when the valve between the upper and lower chambers on the right side of the heart doesn't close properly.

Definition. 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, but most often closes shortly after being born. PFO is what the hole is called when it fails to close naturally after a baby is born.
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is when you have a small flap or opening between the upper right and left chambers (atria) of your heart. Everyone has this opening, called a foramen ovale, before birth. In most people, this closes after birth. Patent foramen ovale occurs when the flap still exists after birth.
ICD-10 code Q21. 12 for Patent foramen ovale is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities .
Having a PFO as an adult or older child is not normal. But it occurs in many people. It may be slightly more common in younger adults compared with older adults.

Objective: Although the ICD-9-CM code 745.5 is widely used to indicate the presence of a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD), it is also used for patent foramen ovale (PFO) which is a normal variant and for "rule-out" congenital heart disease (CHD). The ICD-10-CM code Q21. 1 perpetuates this issue.
