Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Without Echocardiography
nterventional cardiologists have firmly established their ole in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary atheroscleosis. Assessment of hemodynamics has also been a longtanding role for the catheterization laboratory. However, he invasive cardiologist is now becoming involved in the reatment of structural heart disease. Various and increasngly complex procedures are being performed through a ath...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography for quantifying size of patent foramen ovale in patients with cryptogenic cerebrovascular events.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a risk factor for paradoxical embolism, and severe shunting and wide opening of PFO are risk factors for severe and recurrent cerebrovascular events. Neither contrast echocardiography nor 2-dimensional (2D) measurement of PFO size have been validated or compared with invasive balloon sizing. METHODS We performed transesophageal echocardiogr...
متن کاملCardiac magnetic resonance imaging and transesophageal echocardiography in patients with transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale.
OBJECTIVES We studied the value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) before and after closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients with cryptogenic ischemic events. BACKGROUND Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful noninvasive tool for detailed assessment of cardiac anatomy and function. The relevance of CMRI compared with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patie...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler for patent foramen ovale screening: is there a good correlation with transesophageal echocardiography?
UNLABELLED Right-to-left shunt (RLS) can be identified by contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler (cTCD) in patent foramen ovale (PFO) patients. AIM To evaluate cTCD for PFO screening comparing it to cTEE. METHOD 45 previous cTCD performed for PFO diagnosis and correlated its findings with cTEE. Patients were submitted to a cTCD standardized technique and were divided in two groups according...
متن کاملA 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...
