FAQ
PFO often doesn't cause any symptoms and may not require treatment. But it can sometimes indicate stroke or mini-stroke. If you have a history of stroke or blood clots, your provider may suggest treatment.
High-risk PFO is characterized by (D) PFO size of >3 mm (arrow) or (E) the presence of atrial septal aneurysm with (F) hypermobility of the septum during the Valsalva maneuver resulting in a large PFO size (arrow).
Stroke is the major potential complication of PFO. People who have a PFO are slightly more likely to have a stroke than people who do not. A PFO is more likely to be the cause of stroke in a younger adult because younger people don't have as many risk factors for stroke from other causes.
Rarely, a patent foramen ovale can cause a significant amount of blood to go around the lungs. This lowers blood oxygen levels, a condition called hypoxemia. Stroke. Sometimes small blood clots in veins may travel to the heart.
Stroke is the major possible complication of a PFO. People who have a PFO are slightly more likely to have a stroke than people who don't. A PFO is more likely to be involved in a stroke of a younger adult. That's because younger people don't have as many risk factors for stroke from other causes.
Among patients younger than 60 years with no other etiology identified after a thorough diagnostic evaluation, transcatheter PFO closure probably reduces the risk of recurrent stroke (summary rate difference −0.67% per year, 95% CI, −0.39% to −0.94%, I2 = 0), with a number needed to treat of 29 to reduce 1 stroke at 5 ...
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) occurs when a remnant of normal fetal anatomy abnormally persists into adulthood. It represents a benign finding in the newborn periods. If PFO persists into adulthood, it usually leads to right-to-left shunting of deoxygenated blood, which can be symptomatic or asymptomatic.
The foramen ovale plays a vital role in sustaining life in-utero; however, a patent foramen ovale (PFO) after birth has been associated with pathologic sequelae in the systemic circulation including stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA), migraine, high altitude pulmonary edema, decompression illness, platypnea- ...

From there, they can travel to the brain and block blood flow, causing an ischemic stroke. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between your heart's upper chambers.In addition, PFO closure could be helpful but also could be harmful (arrhythmogenic). Patent foramen ovale (PFO) or hole in the heart, affects millions of people and can cause a stroke. Stroke is the major potential complication of PFO. People who have a PFO are slightly more likely to have a stroke than people who do not. PFO's don't cause strokes. Blood clots can travel from the right atrium to the left atrium and out to blood vessels of the body. This patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a possible cause of ischemic stroke in selected patients, without any other cause of stroke. A patent foramen ovale is a small hole in the heart that may increase risk of stroke.
