To the Editors,
We thank the authors for their comments1 and contributions. We also recognized the unexpectedly high positive predictive values for echocardiography and computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). As we checked the SPSS dataset and output, we recognized typos.2 While preparing the manuscript, the numbers were written incorrectly in Table 5. The corrected PPVs would be 41% for CTPA and 55% for transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). We have added the correct version of
Echocardiography was not performed to detect PFO. Operators reported it if they noticed it during the procedure. So, we didn’t use contrast echocardiography.
