RESUMEN
Resumen La ecocardiografía contrastada con solución salina agitada es una modalidad de imagen establecida. Este método es usualmente utilizado para el diagnóstico de foramen oval permeable, shunts intracardiacos, anomalías del drenaje venoso y shunts intrapulmonares. En este artículo se revisarán aspectos generales de la ecocardiografía contrastada con solución salina, así como métodos diagnósticos enfocados principalmente a la detección de la persistencia de vena cava superior izquierda y sus variantes.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Echocardiography contrasted with agitated saline solution is an established imaging modality.
