Question
My child has a 2mm foramen ovale imperforate and sometimes gets tired. Do I need to have surgery?
Answer
A foramen ovale imperforate is a type of congenital heart disease that typically requires surgical treatment. In some cases, children under 5 years old may have a chance of spontaneous healing, but in most cases, surgery is necessary. The decision to undergo surgery should be based on the patient’s detailed examination results and heart function status.
