Heart Care
At EPIC Heart & Vascular Center, we offer expert PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale) Closure procedures near you to reduce the risk of stroke and other complications associated with this common congenital heart condition. Our board-certified cardiologists use minimally invasive techniques to safely and effectively close the opening in the heart, restoring optimal circulation and preventing abnormal blood flow between the heart chambers.
A Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a small hole between the left and right upper chambers of the heart that fails to close naturally after birth. While many people with a PFO never experience symptoms, in some cases it can allow blood clots to bypass the lungs and travel to the brain, increasing the risk of stroke. A PFO Closure is a catheter-based procedure that seals this opening using a specially designed closure device, eliminating the abnormal blood flow and reducing future risks.
History of cryptogenic (unexplained) stroke
Migraine with aura in select patients
Diagnosed PFO via echocardiogram or bubble test
Risk of systemic embolism
Family history of cardiac structural defects
During the procedure, a catheter is inserted through a vein in the groin and guided to the heart. A small closure device is delivered through the catheter and positioned over the PFO. Once in place, the device expands to seal the hole. The procedure typically takes about 1 hour and is performed under conscious sedation or general anesthesia. Most patients return home the same day or the next, with minimal recovery time.
Same-day diagnostic evaluations and scheduling
Performed by board-certified interventional cardiologists
Minimally invasive, safe, and highly effective
Advanced heart imaging and catheterization technology
Accepting most major insurance plans, including Medicare
Whether you’re recovering from a stroke or diagnosed with a PFO during heart screening, our expert team at EPIC Heart provides compassionate care and long-term monitoring for your heart health.
