Quantification of patent foramen ovale shunt severity by transesophageal echocardiogram and transcranial doppler in routine clinical practice
Quantified, evidence-based ratings of PFO shunt severity were present in <1 of every 6 TEE reports, and unquantified, informal size estimates correlated poorly with TCD quantification of shunt severity. Patient management would be aided by inclusion of formal PFO shunt size quantification in all clinical stroke patient TEE reports.
