Abstract

Contrast echocardiography produced by peripheral injection of agitated saline solution is widely used for detecting intracardiac and intrathoracic extracardiac shunts, like pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). Currently, localization of PAVM requires pulmonary angiography even after detection by computed tomography of the chest. Pulsed Doppler along with contrast echocardiography of the pulmonary veins performed during transesophageal echocardiography may aid in the localization of PAVM and in its diagnosis.
