“…3 Pulmonary embolism (or any condition that raises right atrial pressure) is frequently implicated in the increased right heart pressures that set the stage for right-to-left shunting via a PFO. 4,7,9 TEE is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management when paradoxical embolism is suspected. 10 TEE study with color Doppler and contrast echocardiography is the most sensitive diagnostic technique for diagnosing PFO.…”
