Overview
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
The diagnostic study of choice for patent foramen ovale is contrast-enhanced transesophageal echocardiography (c-TEE).[1]
The comparison of various diagnostic studies for patent foramen ovale
| Test | Sensitivity | Specificity |
|---|---|---|
| Transesophageal echocardiography | 89% | 100% |
| Transthoracic echocardiography | 46% | 99% |
| Transcranial doppler | 96% | 93% |
Diagnostic results
The following finding on performing contrast-enhanced transesophageal echocardiography is confirmatory for patent foramen ovale:[2][3][4]
- Presence of bubbles across the inter-atrial septum into the left atrium: A diagnosis is made with the appearance of at least three micro-bubbles within three cardiac cycles after the complete opacification of the right atrium.
