The brain's heart — Therapeutic opportunities for patent foramen ovale (PFO) and neurovascular disease [PDF]
Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2013 Patent foramen ovale (PFO), a common congenital cardiac abnormality, is a connection between the right and left atria in the heart. As a "back door to the brain", PFO can serve as a conduit for paradoxical embolism, allowing venous thrombi to enter the arterial circulation, avoiding filtration by the lungs, and causing ischemic stroke.

Heart Transplantation Complicated by a Patent Foramen Ovale of the Recipient Atrial Septum
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996 A patent foramen ovale after heart transplantation is a relatively uncommon occurrence. We report a case of a 58-year-old man with profound hypoxemia after orthotopic cardiac transplantation for end-stage ischemic cardiomyopathy. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated the presence of a patent foramen ovale in the recipient atrial cuff.
