Abnormalities in the atrial septum range in severity from patent foramen ovale (PFO), a residual cardiac structure found in approximately 25% of the general population, to uncommon, complex lesions associated with significant shunt flow and heart enlargement. While correcting some of these abnormalities is beneficial, most other defects warrant correction only under very specific circumstances.
房间隔异常的严重程度各不相同，从卵圆孔未闭（PFO）（这是一种在约25%的普通人群中发现的残留心脏结构）到与显著分流和心脏扩大相关的罕见复杂病变。虽然纠正其中一些异常是有益的，但大多数其他缺陷仅在非常特殊的情况下才需要纠正。
