Comparison of Different Contrast Agents in Detecting Cardiac Right-to-Left Shunt in Patients with a Patent Foramen Ovale during Contrast-Transthoracic Echocardiography.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of two different contrast agents to detect cardiac right-to-left shunting in patients with a patent foramen ovale during contrast transthoracic echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography. Eighty-four patients who had migraines or experienced cryptogenic stroke were prospectively enrolled. Contrast echocardiography of the right portion of the heart was performed using an injection of either (i) 8 ml of agitated saline, 1 ml of blood, and 1 ml of air (ASB) or (ii) 4 ml of vitamin B Topics: Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Contrast Media; Echocardiography; Echocardiography, Transesophageal; Female; Foramen Ovale, Patent; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Migraine Disorders; Sodium Bicarbonate; Stroke; Vitamin B 6 | 2017 |
Transthoracic contrast echocardiography using vitamin B6 and sodium bicarbonate as contrast agents for the diagnosis of patent foramen ovale.
To evaluate the utility of transthoracic contrast echocardiography (cTTE) using vitamin B6 and sodium bicarbonate as contrast agents for diagnosing right-to-left shunt (RLS) caused by patent foramen ovale (PFO) compared to that of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). We investigated 125 patients admitted to our neurology department with unexplained cerebral infarction and migraine. All patients underwent cTTE using vitamin B6 and sodium bicarbonate as contrast agents, after which they underwent transthoracic echocardiography. The Doppler signal was recorded during the Valsalva maneuver, and TEE examinations were performed. The feasibility, diagnostic sensitivity, and safety of cTTE and TEE for PFO recognition were compared. Evidence of PFO was found in 49 (39.20%) patients with cTTE, more than were detected with TEE (39, 31.20%) (χ Topics: Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Cerebral Infarction; Contrast Media; Coronary Circulation; Echocardiography, Doppler, Color; Echocardiography, Transesophageal; Feasibility Studies; Female; Foramen Ovale; Foramen Ovale, Patent; Hemodynamics; Humans; Male; Microbubbles; Middle Aged; Migraine Disorders; Predictive Value of Tests; Reproducibility of Results; Sodium Bicarbonate; Valsalva Maneuver; Vitamin B 6; Young Adult | 2017 |
