An ASD is a failure of the septal tissue to form between the atria, and as such it is considered a congenital heart defect, something that you are born with. Generally an ASD hole is larger than that of a PFO. ... PFOs, on the other hand, can only occur after birth when the foramen ovale fails to close.Mar 29, 2017
