Background Real-time three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)
was used to analyze atrial septal defect (ASD) with 4 goals:(1) to determine feasibility,(2) to …

BACKGROUND: There are currently no standardized three-dimensional (3D)
transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) views of the interatrial septum and atrial septal …

BACKGROUND: It is generally believed that three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography can
provide unique en face views of atrial septal defects (ASDs), whereas conventional two …

BACKGROUND: Successful transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) requires the
accurate assessment of defect size and morphology. Assessment of ASD anatomy may be …

Most secundum atrial septal defects (ASD) are amenable to device closure. Three-
dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) can be used to obtain an en face …

This study sought to evaluate the usefulness of real-time three-dimensional (3D)
transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to guide the repair of multiple atrial septal defects …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe a quantitative evaluation by real-time 3-
dimensional (3D) echocardiography (RT-3DE) of atrial septal defect (ASD) and atrial septum …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the utility of real-time three-
dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (RT3D-TEE) using a matrix array 3D …

In this report we present 12 adult patients in whom surgical or percutaneous intervention
was considered for repair of atrial septal defect (ASD). Location, size, and surrounding atrial …

Key echocardiographic assessments during percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure
are the maximal defect diameter, the presence or absence of tissue rims, and the spatial …
