[[Patent foramen ovale]] (PFO) is a very common disease that exhibits right-to-left shunt. CBA might be caused by paradoxical embolization of a bacterial mass via PFO. Thus, more patients with CBA need to undergo [[transesophageal echocardiography]] (TEE) to detect PFO. cryptogenic_brain_abscess.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:55by 127.0.0.1
