Monaldi Arch Chest Dis. 2021 Mar 12;91(2). doi: 10.4081/monaldi.2021.1733.

Abstract

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common abnormality that occurs in about 25% of the adult population. In most cases is a benign finding, but sometimes the communication between the right and the left atria can be a conduit for thrombi.
