a very small PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale)
Explanation:
I would definitely suspect a typo...
I'm quite sure it should indeed be מזערי.

If so, it is quite simple:

A PFO, Patent Foramen Ovale, is a hole in the wall between the two atria of the heart, that wasn't properly closed in the developing fetus.

A very small, or minuscule, PFO would indeed normally cause a shunt (דלף) -
Either a more common right-to-left shunt, or a less common left-to-right shunt, as is the case in your text.

Just look at this short Clinical Case Report
https://anncaserep.com/pdfs_folder/accr-v2-id1301.pdf

In page 2 you will find your text word for word:

"The only findings were ... and a small Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) with left-to-right shunt at Doppler echocardiography."
