  • Title: Spontaneous echocardiographic contrast associated with portosystemic shunt due to persistent patent ductus venosus.
    Author: Toib A, Goldstein SB, Khanna G, Canter CE, Lee CK, Balzer DT, Singh GK.
    Journal: Congenit Heart Dis; 2012; 7(3):E18-21. PubMed ID: 22129147.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of an infant with a single ventricle physiology, who presented with spontaneous microbubbles originating from her inferior vena cava. Imaging revealed a persistent patent ductus venosus, leading to a portosystemic shunt, streaming the microbubbles into the heart. We discuss the possible mechanisms for this rare phenomenon in a child.
