“…In this way, echocardiography can be performed before, during and after transcatheter interventions. (Silvestry et al 2009) Even though fluoroscopy is the main imaging modality during interventional procedures, it does not provide direct assessment of cardiac anatomy as good as echocardiography. In addition to defining the intracardiac structures important in the ASD closure process, echocardiography is helpful in showing the relationship between catheters or devices and the adjacent structures.…”

“…It is very important for the echocardiographer to be familiar with these devices, their design and release mechanisms since the method of implantation is different and unique for each device. (Silvestry et al 2009) Atrial septal defect occlusion devices are categorized into two as non-self centered or single pin device and the waist or self-centered device. The cribriform device-AGA Amplatzer multi fenestrated septal occluder (AGA, Plymouth.…”

“…(Hanrath 2001;Sengupta & Khandheria 2005) Several echocardiographic techniques including transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) are being used by many centers. (Silvestry et al 2009) In this chapter, we will review the role of TEE in transcatheter occlusion of atrial septal defects.…”

El uso de dispositivos transcatéter para cierre de defectos paravalvulares, cierre de orejuela izquierda y reparación mitral se ha hecho más frecuente en los últimos años 1 . Esto ha convertido a la ecocardiografía transesofágica tridimensional en una herramienta de gran utilidad para la selección, guía durante el procedimiento y posterior seguimiento de los pacientes que se someten a este tipo de intervención 2 .

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is an opening or flap in the atrial septum that exists as a normal and vital component of intrauterine life. PFO allows for the transportation of rich oxygenated blood to bypass the lungs and flow from the right to the left atrium during fetal development. Shortly after birth, a reduction in right heart pressure related to a decrease in resistance through the newly functioning respiratory system closes the flap. However, sometimes a PFO fails to close properly after birth.There are no known risk factors for PFO, but it is found present in approximately one-quarter of the adult population. 1 PFO usually has no signs or symptoms and typically goes undiagnosed in the majority of people. The amount of blood that passes through a PFO is small; however, it can permit arterial circulation, blood clots, and vasoactive substances in the venous system to bypass the lungs and be directly introduced into the oxygen-rich blood, which in turn can manifest clinically. Mayo Clinic autopsy studies revealed that the size of the PFO increases from a mean of 3.4 mm in the first decade of life to 5.8 mm in the tenth decade of life. 2 Knowing the status of a PFO and how it relates to other medical conditions may be important in disease management.Commonly neurologists become involved early in the evaluation of clinical manifestations of various processes that are the result of the presence of PFO. This manuscript aims to assist the neurologist in his or her interactions with other consultants and to provide a high-level update of knowledge regarding the various associated conditions and an overview of diagnostic methods. Clinical SignificanceStudies have shown that PFO is linked to increased risk for several pathologic processes, such as paradoxical embolism in cryptogenic stroke, venous-to-arterial gas embolism in serious forms of decompression illness (DCI), along with many other clinical implications. In addition, it is often associated with atrial septal aneurysm and Chiari network, although these variations are uncommon. 3 Studies have also demonstrated that the size of a PFO affects the risk for stroke. Mean PFO diameter was significantly
