The Use of Optison Echocardiography Contrast in the Detection of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus With Transesophageal Echocardiography.
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Optison echocardiography contrast agent for Atrial Fibrillation. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators intend to determine if using Optison echocardiography contrast increases sensitivity and specificity of detecting left atrial appendage thrombus in transesophageal echocardiography studies as opposed to standard 2D and 3D TEE imaging without the use of echo contrast.
