Overview
Routing screening for patent foramen ovale is not justifiable but in certain cases, screening may be considered in young people with cryptogenic stroke, divers with a history of decompression sickness, people with migraine with aura.
Screening
- There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for patent foramen ovale but screening is common in younger patients (less than 55) with a history of cryptogenic stroke.[1]
- Screening for a patent foramen ovale may be considered in the following individuals:[2]
- Divers with a history of cerebral, inner ear, spinal or cutaneous decompression sickness
- Migraine with aura
- Family history of patent foramen ovale or atrial septal defect
- Patients with other forms of congenital heart disease
- Screening should be performed with contrast transthoracic echocardiography alongside the patient performing the valsalva maneuver.[2]
