Introduction
The foramen ovale was a vascular shunt within the developing atria of the heart, two separate forms of foramen ovale closure; functional and structural. Functional closure begins at the first breath and is rapid. Structural (anatomical) closure is much slower and generally occurs before the end of the first year.
