Echocardiographic Assessment of Intrapulmonary Vasodilatation: Agitated Saline Versus Polygeline

Cirrhosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Evaluation of Two Methods for the Echocardiographic Assessment of Intrapulmonary Vasodilatation in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis: Agitated Saline Versus Polygelatine

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate agitated saline versus polygeline for detection of intrapulmonary vasodilatation in patients with cirrhosis.

Clinical Trial Description

Intrapulmonary vasodilatation is a frequent finding in patients with cirrhosis. Its diagnosis is established via contrast enhanced echocardiography. One used method is the contrast agent agitated saline and another frequently used method is the contrast agent polygeline. The purpose of this study is to compare these two echocardiographic contrast agents with respect to their ability to detect intrapulmonary vasodilatation. ;
