Comparison of Vertebral Artery and Middle Cerebral Artery Monitoring for Right-to-left Shunt Detection by Contrast-enhanced Transcranial Doppler

Abstract: Contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler (c-TCD) is a reliable and reproducible method for right-to-left shunt (RLS) detection, with high sensitivity. Monitoring the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is an optimal choice, yet for patients with insufficient temporal bone windows or severe stenosis of carotid arteries, an alternative should be established. The aim of the present study was to further establish whether c-TCD with vertebral artery (VA) monitoring is as effective as MCA monitoring for RLS detection. We eva… Show more

“…Sin embargo, la detección de CDI está limitada por ventanas de hueso temporal insuficientes en 10 a 20% de los pacientes. 6 Las imágenes de ultrasonido con contraste de la arteria carótida común con maniobra de Valsalva podrían ser una herramienta de detección opcional para la detección del CDI en pacientes con ventanas óseas acústicas insuficientes. 7,8 De la misma manera, el UD-c vertebrobasilar también se ha considerado y comparado contra UD-c transcraneal para detectar CDI.…”

“…[ 2 ] The presence of PFO has been pointed out to be strongly related to various disease processes, which includes cryptogenic stroke, transient ischemic attack, migraine headaches, peripheral arterial embolism, platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome, and decompression sickness. [ 3 , 4 ] Characterized by moderate or severe headache attacks and reversible neurological and systemic symptoms, migraine is a chronic neurological disorder, which is one of the most prevalent and disabling medical illnesses all over the world. [ 5 ] Migraines influence about 13% of the population aged 20 to 64, with one third of migraineurs suffering migraine with aura (MA).…”
