Detailed Answer:
Hello
Pfo is patent foramen ovale which is normal before birth but should get closed after birth.
Small pfo that persists after birth don’t cause any significant health issues or complications in majority of the individuals but can cause migraines and CVA in some patients.
Usually the prognosis is excellent for such individuals but if some complications arises then closure by catheterisation is done.
