patent ductus AND ovalis
The MD probably paused between patent ductus and ovalis, instead of dictating "The patient is status post patent ductus AND ovalis." Ovalis is Latin for Ovale (which is New Latin for Oval), like in "foramen ovale." The MD probably meant the patient had both PDA and PFO corrections done.
