“…6,7,53,63,65,66,[76][77][78][79][80][81] Because the IAS is a complex, dynamic, and 3D anatomic structure, limitations exist in its evaluation using any single form of 2D echocardiography. The IAS (and associated abnormalities such as ASD or PFO) does not exist in a true flat plane that can be easily aligned or interrogated using 2D imaging.…”

“…Numerous reports of the advantages of 3D TEE in guiding catheter interventions have been published and include the use of biplane imaging. 7,65,66,80,82 Figure 23 illustrates the use of biplane imaging during percutaneous transcatheter closure of ASD before deployment of the device.…”

“…We labeled ASD rims as proposed by Amin and universally accepted, as aortic (or superoanterior), anteroinferior (or atrioventricular valve), inferoposterior (or inferior venacaval), posterior, posterosuperior (or superior venacaval), and superior (20,21). Special attention was given to anteroinferior and posterosuperior rims on the fourchambers view, aortic and posterior rims on the short-axis left parasternal view, and inferoposterior and superior rims on the subcostal view.…”

Background: 2D-transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is routinely performed to guide percutaneous ASD closure in children. We aimed to assess whether two-dimensional (2D)-transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a safe alternative for assessment and guidance of atrial septal defect (ASD) closure in unselected children.Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center study including 389 consecutive children aged Results: ASDs were larger and rims deficiencies were more frequent in the TTE-guided group. The procedure was successful in 376 patients [96.7%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 94.4-98.2%]. The success rate tended to be higher in the TTE-versus TEE-guided group (98.0% versus 94.0%, P=0.069). Device migration occurred in 4 patients (1.0%; 95% CI: 0.3-1.6%), all after TEE-guided procedure (P=0.013).Early major adverse events were observed in 5 patients (1.3%; 95% CI: 0.4-3.0%), all in the TEE group (P=0.004). Fluroroscopic time and irradiation dose were not different among the 2 groups (P=0.450 and P=0.130 respectively). After a median follow-up of 7 years (range, 1-16 years), no adverse events was reported. One (0.3%, 95% CI: 0-1.4%) 12-year-old patient developed atrial fibrillation 5 years after the procedure. Pregnancies were uneventful in 72 cases.Conclusions: When a balloon sizing is performed, 2D-TTE imaging is as efficient as 2D-TEE to guide percutaneous ASD closure in children. The procedure can safely be done in spontaneously breathing children under TTE guidance alone in experienced centers.

“…One of the clinical aims is to optimise the selection of potential candidates for transcatheter device closure versus surgical repair of the atrial septal defect. Novel en face projections of atrial septal defects are used extensively to outline the shape, location and size of the defect [10,11]. Such views of the atrial septum can either be from a right atrial (Fig.…”

Image orientation for three-dimensional echocardiography of congenital heart disease

To date there has been little discussion about image orientation for three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography when applied to congenital heart lesions. Anatomic relations cannot be assumed in congenital heart disease and image cropping during post processing may by necessity remove external or even internal anatomic references. We present an approach to consistent anatomic orientation which is both intuitive and consistent with regard to superior-inferior, anterior-posterior and left-right axes. Such anatomic orientation is also concordant with other common 3D imaging modes such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. Views derived from standard cross sectional echocardiography have such universal familiarity that analogous 3D projections of these views may be retained but novel hitherto unavailable views such as en face views of the cardiac septums or atrioventricular valves may be projected using anatomic orientation.
