Aortic Root Downward Movement as a Novel Method for Identification of an Adequately Performed Valsalva Maneuver to Detect Patent Foramen Ovale during Transesophageal Echocardiography

Aortic Root Downward Movement as a Novel Method for Identification of an Adequately Performed Valsalva Maneuver to Detect Patent Foramen Ovale during Transesophageal Echocardiography

The Valsalva maneuver (VM) is the most sensitive auxiliary method for the detection of patent foramen ovale (PFO), but it is difficult to assess whether the maneuver is adequately performed during transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). In this study, we tried to use aortic root downward movement as...
