Increased prevalence of potential right-to-left shunting in children with sickle cell anaemia and stroke [PDF]
'Paradoxical' embolization via intracardiac or intrapulmonary right-to-left shunts (RLS) is an established cause of stroke. Hypercoagulable states and increased right heart pressure, which both occur in sickle cell anaemia (SCA), predispose to ...
