Detection of intrapulmonary shunts in schistosomal cor pulmonale

Chest, Volume 104, No. 4, Year 1993

Two patients with schistosomal cor pulmonale and central cyanosis were studied by contrast-enhanced echocardiography, using indocyanine green injection. Intrapulmonary shunts were detected by this method. To our knowledge, this is the first report that proves the presence of intrapulmonary shunts in schistosomal cor pulmonale detected by contrast- enhanced echocardiography.
