Contrast echocardiography with agitated saline is used to assess mainly the existence of interatrial communication. We report a case of a 26-year-old woman, with a "port-a-cath" central venous line, who had an unusual finding in agitated saline contrast echocardiography. Multimodality imaging revealed occlusion of superior vena cava and a systemic-to-pulmonary venous shunt.
使用生理盐水造影剂的超声心动图主要用于评估心房之间是否存在分流。我们报告一例26岁女性病例,该患者有一根“输液港”中心静脉导管,在生理盐水造影剂超声心动图检查中发现了异常情况。多模态成像显示上腔静脉闭塞以及体肺静脉分流。
