Is surgery necessary for a 1-year-old foramen ovale of 0.2?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In this case, if the child is under one year old, surgical treatment is not required at this time. Some may recover on their own after the age of one. It was previously thought that surgical treatment could be temporarily avoided, and a check-up should be conducted at the age of one. If it has not closed by then, surgical treatment should be performed.
