Diagnostic yield of standardized screening for deep venous thrombosis in patients with acute cerebral ischemia and cardiac right-to-left shunt
Our data suggest a high diagnostic yield (> 20%) of standardized screening for DVT with LE-CUS in patients with acute cerebral ischemia and PFO or ASD. This particularly applies to females, patients with more severe baseline deficits and large right-to-left shunt. These findings may not be generalizable to all patients with PFO or ASD and need prospective validation.
