Abstract

Transesophageal echocardiography combining with peripheral injection of agitated saline solution is a useful diagnostic tool to detect the intrapulmonary shunt. We performed transesophageal contrast echocardiography in a case of hepatopulmonary syndrome with normal pulmonary angiography to define the intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt bilaterally.
