Abstract

We investigated the prevalence and characteristics of intrapulmonary shunt using contrast echocardiography with harmonic imaging in 130 liver transplant candidates. We found a high prevalence of intrapulmonary shunts and a significant correlation between the degree of intrapulmonary shunt and the Child-Pugh classification score.
