Saline versus Saline with Blood as a Contrast Agent for Right-to-left Shunt Diagnosis by Transcranial Doppler: Is There a Significant Difference?

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Agitated saline solution (AS) is the contrast agent (CA) of choice for the diagnosis of right‐to‐left shunt (RLS). The aim of this study was to compare AS to AS with blood (ASb) in the diagnosis and quantification of RLS by contrast‐enhanced transcranial Doppler (cTCD...
