Abstract:

The main purpose of this study was to compare two contrast agent injection times during the Valsalva manoeuvre (VM) for the diagnosis of right-to-left shunt using contrast-transcranial Doppler (c-TCD). In total, 992 consecutive patients underwent testing. All patients underwent step 1, and then a coin toss was used to determine the order of steps 2 and 3. The following testing steps were repeated twice: (1) a contrast agent (CA) was infused at rest (CA at rest testing); (2) the VM was initiated immediately after CA injection and released 10 s after CA injection (CA pre-VM testing); and (3) a CA was injected 5 s after initiating the VM, which was released 5 s after CA injection (CA mid-VM testing). For the CA at rest, pre-VM and mid-VM groups, significant differences were observed in the positive right-to-left shunt diagnosis rates (11.49% vs. 23.08% vs. 26.11%, respectively, with an inter-group significance of p < 0.05) and grade classifications (p < 0.05). Although the times to first micro-bubble appearance were similar between the CA at rest and the CA pre-VM groups (8.96 +/- 3.40 s vs. 8.42 +/- 3.72 s, p > 0.05), it was shorter (6.4 +/- 2.75 s, p < 0.05) for the CA mid-VM group than for the other two groups. For the c-TCD testing, the CA mid-VM group yielded different results for diagnosing right-to-left shunts relative to the CA pre-VM group.
