Overview
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for patent foramen ovale.
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.
- Screening for a patent foramen ovale may be considered in the following individuals:[1]
- 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.[1]
