“…With 3D images there was a better spatial appreciation of the surrounding structures providing a more "realistic" conceptualization of the cardiac anatomy, particularly with structures located at different tomographic planes [ 6 , 12 ], and it's dynamic changes during the cardiac cycle [ 13 ]. Irregularities in shape of the ASDs can lead to residual shunting that, as in the case of figure 1 , may require overlapping septal occlusion devices to treat it [ 14 ].…”

Transesophageal echocardiography has advantages over transthoracic technique in defining morphology of atrial structures. Even though real time three-dimensional echocardiographic imaging is a reality, the off-line reconstruction technique usually allows to obtain higher spatial resolution images. The purpose of this study was to explore the accuracy of off-line threedimensional transesophageal echocardiography in a spectrum of atrial septal defects by comparing them with representative anatomic specimens.
