Why the study?
Does two-phase 64-section cardiac CT angiography accurately detect LAA thrombi compared to transesophageal echocardiography in stroke patients?
Does two-phase 64-section cardiac CT angiography accurately detect LAA thrombi compared to transesophageal echocardiography in stroke patients?
Two-phase cardiac CT angiography is a sensitive, noninvasive alternative to TEE for detecting LAA thrombi in stroke patients.
May support CT angiography as TEE alternative for LAA thrombi; leaves open prospective validation in stroke.
Two-phase 64-section cardiac CT angiography is a noninvasive sensitive modality for detecting LAA thrombi and differentiating thrombus from circulatory stasis in stroke patients.
