Intrapulmonary shunt confirmed by intracardiac echocardiography in the diagnosis of hepatopulmonary syndrome.
H epatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) occurs in the setting of liver disease when oxygenation is impaired as a result of intrapulmonary vascular dilatation. The exact mechanism is not entirely clear, but is felt to be related to increases in pulmonary vasodilators, such as nitric oxide. Diagnosis requires the presence of liver disease, inadequate oxygenation, and confirmation of intrapulmonary shunti...

David Harpaz, M.D.; Pratima Shah, M.D.; Gian Itzolo Bezante, M.D.; and Richard S. Meltzer, M.D. , Ph.D. Acute rupture of the interventricular septum is a relatively unusual complication following acute myocardial infarction. The echocardiographic features depicted by transthoracic echocardiography are well described. However, transesophageal echocardiographic description of a ruptured septum ha...
متن کاملAnatomical and functional intrapulmonary shunt in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
OBJECTIVES The lung-protective strategy employs positive end-expiratory pressure to keep open otherwise collapsed lung regions (anatomical recruitment). Improvement in venous admixture with positive end-expiratory pressure indicates functional recruitment to better gas exchange, which is not necessarily related to anatomical recruitment, because of possible global/regional perfusion modificatio...
متن کاملMarfan Syndrome With Bicuspid Aortic Valve Diagnosed By Transesophageal Echocardiography
In diagnosing MS, even though investigators recently identified a defective FBN 1 gene as cause of this hereditary condition, employing a genetic test a sa diagnostic tool is not partical in the near future (3). This is because of the extreme variability in the FBN 1 gene on chromosome 15. It has been shown (1) that transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provides rapid diagnostic information in...
متن کاملHepatopulmonary Syndrome in Poorly Compensated Postnecrotic Liver Cirrhosis by Hepatitis B Virus in Korea
BACKGROUND Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) refers to the association of hypoxemia, intrapulmonary shunting and chronic liver disease. But there is no clear data about the prevalence of HPS in postnecrotic liver cirrhosis by hepatitis B virus (HBV), the most common cause of liver disease in Korea. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of HPS in poorly compensated postnecrotic li...
