Overview
- In 1513, Leonardo da Vinci made the first anatomic description of patent foramen ovale. He wrote this in his notes: "I found from the left chamber to the right chamber a perforating channel, which I note here to see whether this occurs in other auricle (atria) of other hearts".[1]
- In 1564, the presence of foramen ovale at birth was first described by an Italian surgeon named Leonardi Botali.[2]
