We describe views of the atrial septum which can be achieved with current 3-dimensional
(3D) techniques. The anatomical features of the normal atrial septum and morphology of …

Background: Transcatheter Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO) device closure of atrial septal
defects (ASDs) has traditionally been guided by two‐dimensional transesophageal …

A prospective study of 3-dimensional (3-D) transthoracic echocardiographic definition of
atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) morphology and its dynamic changes during the …

Aims Using balloon sizing to determine device size may cause complications and increase
procedure time in performing transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD). We aimed to …

Objectives. This study investigated the feasibility of producing three-dimensional gray scale
ultrasound images of the atrial septum to demonstrate normal and pathologic anatomy …

A new tool has been recently introduced to the echocardiography armamentarium, live/real
time three‐dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). In these cases, we …

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is usually suspected clinically but requires a confirmative
diagnostic procedure before surgical repair. Two-dimensional and Doppler …

Three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D TOE) has been rapidly
developed in the last 15 years. Currently, 3D TOE is particularly useful as an additional …

Background: Recent advances in three‐dimensional (3D) echocardiography allow to obtain
real‐time 3D transesophageal (RT3DTEE) images intraoperatively. Methods: Preoperative …

By providing unlimited imaging planes, multiplane transesophageal echocardiography
(MTEE) should improve real-time guidance of interventional procedures. The potential …
