Prevalence and impact of Eustachian valve on the diagnosis of patent foramen ovale in patients ventilated for an acute respiratory distress syndrome

[...]PFO is identified in 15 to 19% of patients ventilated for an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to increased right ventricular afterload [1, 2].

Summary:[...]PFO is identified in 15 to 19% of patients ventilated for an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to increased right ventricular afterload [1, 2]. [...]it can lead to false-negative results of TEE contrast study in precluding the microbubbles injected through the superior vena cava to reach the interatrial septum, as in 12/13 of our patients with incomplete RA opacification. [5] recommended injecting the microbubbles through the femoral vein to increase the sensitivity of echocardiography contrast study for the detection of PFO, they did not report on the presence of Eustachian valve.
