Article Synopsis
- Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a leftover from fetal circulation that affects about 25% of people but usually doesn’t cause symptoms.
- PFO can be significant in conditions like cryptogenic stroke and migraines, and recent trials show that closing it through a procedure may be better than just medication for preventing strokes in specific patients.
- The effectiveness of closure for other issues related to PFO, like decompression sickness and migraines, is still being studied, and the review will cover the current understanding of these aspects.
