The first is the foramen ovale (the valve present between them called eustachian valve) which shunts blood from the right atrium to the left atrium. The second is the ductus arteriosus which shunts blood from the pulmonary artery (which, after birth, carries blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs) to the descending aorta.
Foramen ovale (heart), in the fetal heart, a shunt from the right atrium to left atrium; Foramen ovale (skull), at the base of the skull, one of the holes that transmit nerves through the skull; Patent foramen ovale, a small channel in the heart, a remnant of the fetal foramen ovale
With enough pressure, blood may travel from the right atrium to the left. If there is a clot in the right side of the heart, it can cross the PFO, enter the left atrium, and travel out of the heart and to the brain, causing a stroke. If the clot travels into a coronary artery it can cause a heart attack. [6]
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect in which blood flows between the atria (upper chambers) of the heart.Some flow is a normal condition both pre-birth and immediately post-birth via the foramen ovale; however, when this does not naturally close after birth it is referred to as a patent (open) foramen ovale (PFO).
a bicuspid pulmonary valve, in 60%; right-sided aortic arch, in 25%; coronary artery anomalies, in 10%; a patent foramen ovale or atrial septal defect, in which case the syndrome is sometimes called a pentalogy of Fallot [46] an atrioventricular septal defect; partially or totally anomalous pulmonary venous return
Atrial septal defect with left-to-right shunt. The left and right sides of the heart are named from a dorsal view, i.e., looking at the heart from the back or from the perspective of the person whose heart it is. There are four chambers in a heart: an atrium (upper) and a ventricle (lower) on both the left and right sides. [1]

These routes include moving through a patent foramen ovale (a congenital hole connecting the right and left atria of the heart), a ventricular septal defect (a congenital hole connecting the ventricles), or a pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, where arteries in the lungs connect directly to veins without capillaries in between.
