Although contrast echocardiography may facilitate diagnosis, it would be difficult to distinguish a PFO from a pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF), which could also result in paradoxical embolism. We report a 46-year-old woman with recurrent ischemic stroke, who was scheduled for PFO closure because of a right-to-left shunt detected by contrast echocardiography. The diagnosis turned out to be a PAVF confirmed by angiography. Thereafter, coil embolization of this PAVF was performed successfully. |
