A dozen students and nurses rushed in with surgical tools and echocardiography equipment to check Hill’s heart. From Los Angeles Times A“bubble study” test, contrast echocardiography that uses sound waves to inspect blood vessels, revealed the presence of an AVM in Martinez’s lung. From Wash...
Successively, portography confirmed what the exploratory celiotomy had revealed before with the aid of the bubble study: a single shunt was located between the portal vein and the right renal vein. It was completely ligated, as all the criteria for this solution were met. Intraoperative contrast...
AIMS: To evaluate diagnostic accuracy of contrast echocardiography (CE) as compared with CT, for the screening of pulmonary (PAVMs) in (HHT); to evaluate the clinical significance of semi-quantitative analysis of a shunt on CE.: A blinded prospective study was conducted in 190 consecutive subje...
That study found that VSD was the most frequently detected CHD with the predominance of left-right shunt lesions and the relative rarity of cyanotic and complex CHD in this DS population. However, Chéhab et al[9] previously showed that the risk of congenital cardiac anomalies in children with...

Patients with a Ross procedure may benefit from the comprehensive assessment by CMR, which enables the assessment both of the valves themselves and of the adjacent vessels, which often tend to dilate postoperatively. Moreover, CMR offers new settings and parameters to study the hemodynamics of ...
