Pre-interventional transesophageal echocardiography as a reliable predictor of residual shunt following patent foramen ovale closure
Our study elucidates that a baseline characterization of PFO morphology using TEE improves diagnostic precision to identify patients with RS after PFO closure. A standardized approach might thus enhance the efficacy and safety of transcatheter PFO closure. Prediction of complete closure might reduce complications and allow for a more refined patient selection and treatment.
