A. The foramen ovale usually closes 6 months to a year after the baby's birth. When the foramen ovale stays open after birth, it's called a patent (PAY-tent, which means "open") foramen ovale (PFO). A PFO usually causes no problems. If a newborn has congenital heart defects, the foramen ovale is more likely to stay open.

Q. My child has been detected with a hole in her heart. She is 22 months old. In dec we consulted 1 doc according to whom the size of hole was 8 mm and was PFO. He suggested to wait as it was having chances of closing by itself. Now we consulted another doc for second opinion and he detected hole of 18 mm and ASD. He suggested device closure in around 1-2 months. Now we are confused that it is PFO or ASD and should we go with the device closure or should wait to close it naturally? pls suggest a way out
