BOLANOS GOMEZ, Carlos Eduardo y FUENTES MOLINA, Edgar. Utilidad de la ecocardiografía de contraste con solución salina agitada en el diagnóstico de la persistencia de vena cava superior izquierda. Rev. costarric. cardiol [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp.21-28. ISSN 1409-4142.
Echocardiography contrasted with agitated saline solution is an established imaging modality. This method is usually used for the diagnosis of patent foramen ovale, intracardiac shunts and venous drainage abnormalities. In this article, general aspects of the echocardiography contrasted with saline solution will be reviewed, as well as diagnostic methods focused mainly on the detection of the persistence of the left superior vena cava and its variants.
