Right to left shunting detection by contrast-enhanced transcranial color-coded duplex among patients with cryptogenic stroke

Abstract Background Contrast-enhanced transcranial duplex (c-TCD) might be more sensitive than transesophageal echo (TEE) for detection of right to left shunting (RLS), which misses some cases with substantial RLS and might be valuable for prediction of recurrent stroke or transient ischemic attack...
