Bracco Diagnostics, Inc
Summary
A phase III study designed as a randomized, within-patient comparison of continuous infusion of diluted Lumason® versus the bolus administration of undiluted Lumason® for degree of LVO and assessment of LV EBD (co-primary endpoints).
Description
This is a phase III study designed as a randomized, within-patient comparison of continuous infusion of diluted Lumason® versus the bolus administration of undiluted Lumason® for degree of LVO and assessment of LV EBD (co-primary endpoints). The study will enroll patients with suboptimal LV EBD defined as ≥2 adjacent segments in any apical view that cannot be visualized at pre-contrast echocardiogram.
