Purpose. To analyze the characteristics of right-to-left shunt (RLS) in patients with cryptogenic stroke and migraine by contrast-enhanced transesophageal echocardiography (c-TEE). Methods. The study population consisted of 330 patients with cryptogenic stroke and 330 patients with migraine who suspected PFO. All of them received c-TEE examination successfully. In terms of c-TEE analyses, RLS could be diagnosed when microbubbles were visualized in the transition from the right atrium to the left atrium. For semiquantitative analysis, a small amount of RLS was grade 1, indicating 1-10 microvesicles per frame could be seen in the left atrium, a moderate amount of RLS was grade 2, indicating 11-30 microvesicles per frame could be seen in the left atrium, and a large amount of RLS was grade 3, indicating more than 30 microvesicles per frame, or the left atrium is filled with microvesicles. Results. A total of 660 patients were analyzed in the study. PFO-RLS was detected in 348 (348/660, 52.7%) cases by TEE, while in 392 (392/660, 59.3%) cases by c-TEE. Simultaneously, P-RLS was detected in 239 (239/660, 36.2%) cases by c-TEE. Among 330 patients with cryptogenic stroke, PFO-RLS was detected in 198 cases; according to the c-TTE method (198/330, 60.0%), concurrently, 83 participants suffered from PFO-RLS and P-RSL (83/330, 25.1%), including 1 case with PFO and pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. Among 330 patients with migraine, PFO-RLS was detected in 194 cases; according to the c-TTE method (194/330, 58.7%), specifically, 90 participants suffered from PFO-RLS and P-RSL (90/330, 27.2%). There was no statistical significance between the two groups. P-RLS singly was detected in 28 cases with cryptogenic stroke, while in 38 cases with migraine, excluding from pulmonary arteriovenous fistula by CTA examination. In addition, semiquantitative results on c-TTE grading of RLS were compared between the two groups: grade 1 RLS in the migraine group (144/322) was significantly higher than that in the cryptogenic stroke group (71/309) ( P < 0.05 ). Grade 3 RLS in the cryptogenic stroke group (113/309) was significantly higher than that in the migraine group (67/322) ( P < 0.05 ). For grade 2 RLS, there was no statistical difference between the two groups ( P = 0.12 ). Conclusions. c-TEE can increase the positive rate of PFO diagnosis compared with TEE color Doppler. There is no significant difference in the incidence of PFO-PLS and P-RLS between the cryptogenic stroke group and the migraine group. The grades 2-3 RLS are mainly detected in the cryptogenic stroke group, while grades 1-2 RLS are mostly detected in the migraine group.
