Sensitivity of transcranial doppler and transoesophageal echocardiography for the detection of patent foramen ovale in cryptogenic stroke
Conclusions
TCD with bubble test is sensitive and specific for the detection of right–to–left shunts due to PFO confirmed at right heart catheterisation. In this population, TOE had low sensitivity for RLS. There was no difference in physical PFO size between TOE positive and negative patients.
