Agitated saline with 10% blood increases number and stability of microbubbles in detection right-to-left shunt by contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler: an < em > in vitro < /em > and < em > in vivo < /em > observational study

CONCLUSIONS: The 10% BAS would be suggested in c-TCD as it addressed larger RLS by increasing the number and stability of microbubbles, and it improves the diagnosis of patent foramen ovale (PFO).PMID:37197514 | PMC:PMC10183504 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-284
