A comparison of transesophageal echocardiography and transcranial Doppler sonography with contrast medium for detection of patent foramen ovale.
BACKGROUND Patent foramen ovale as a possible stroke risk factor can be diagnosed with transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) by detecting intravenous contrast medium crossing from the right to the left atrium. The present study evaluates the reliability of this method. SUMMARY OF REPORT We performed TCD and transesophageal echocardiography simultaneously in 50 patients using galactose microbu...

taneously with cTEE; this is because the experiment is designed for cTEE, not for cTCD. Therefore, the low diagnostic capability of cTCD for small PFOs may solely be due to this factor. Furthermore, transorbital monitoring of the carotid siphon was not sufficiently investigated. Therefore, this technique should be considered as an experimental procedure. Because of mandatory manual fixation of ...

OBJECTIVES The aim was to estimate the recurrence rate and to define subgroups at increased risk for recurrent cerebral ischaemia in patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and so called cryptogenic stroke due to paradoxical embolism. METHODS Patent foramen ovale was diagnosed in 318 patients with otherwise unexplained ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). One hundred and fif...
متن کاملTransmitral Doppler: a new transthoracic contrast method for patent foramen ovale detection and quantification.
OBJECTIVES This study compared a new transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) method for detection of right to left bubble passage, transmitral Doppler (TMD), against two-dimensional (2D) TTE contrast study and the gold standard, of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and assessed its utility in quantitative assessment of patent foramen ovales (PFO). BACKGROUND Current TTE methods are relati...
