32-year-old patent foramen ovale surgery dangerous?

32-year-old patent foramen ovale surgery has certain risks. Any surgery is not 100% safe, there are certain risks, patent foramen ovale surgery is no exception. Clinically more common patent foramen ovale surgery is interventional occlusion and thoracotomy surgery, of which interventional occlusion is a minimally invasive surgery, which is through femoral vein puncture into the heart to seal the foramen ovale. Generally less trauma, faster recovery, but still may lead to intracardiac bleeding, thrombosis and so on.

If it is a large patent foramen ovale, or combined with other cardiac malformations, thoracotomy may be required for treatment. This surgery is more invasive, recovery is slow, and there may be cardiac rupture, cardiac insufficiency, etc. Patients should choose a regular hospital for surgery to minimize the risk.
