Heart Center cardiologist Sanjay K. Gandhi, M.D., assistant professor of medicine performed a congenital heart defect repair live on the Internet Tuesday, June 6 at 5 p.m. The procedure will be narrated by his colleague, cardiologist Renato M. Santos, M.D., assistant professor of medicine.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common congenital heart defect found in 20 percent of all adults. It occurs when a fetal opening in the wall (septum) between the left and right atrium—the upper chambers of the heart—doesn't close after birth. This residual tunnel can potentially allow blood to leak between these chambers.
