Identification of atrial septal defects by cross-sectional contrast echocardiography.
Cross-sectional echocardiography, combined with injections of contrast into peripheral arm veins, has been used to study 15 patients with atrial septal defects and 10 patients with an intact interatrial septum. Of 11 patients with ostium secundum or sinus venosus atrial septal defects and left-to-right shunts a defect could be visualised in all, and in eight some degree of transfer of contrast ...
متن کاملDetection of ostium secundum atrial septal defects by transoesophageal cross-sectional echocardiography.
Transoesophageal cross-sectional echocardiography has special advantages when investigating the interatrial septum which is imaged perpendicularly without echo dropouts from an oesophageal transducer position. The technique was successfully used in 19 out of 20 patients (95%) with an ostium secundum atrial septal defect and in 30 control subjects. In all of the latter the interatrial septum was...
متن کاملMitral cleft in ostium primum atrial septal defect assessed by cross-sectional echocardiography.
We attempted to detect mitral deformities in ostium primum atrial septal defect using real-time cross-sectional echocardiography. Transverse sections of the anterior mitral leaflet echo were examined in 11 patients with this malformation who subsequently received surgical treatment. The section for observing the transverse view of te anterior leaflet was along the sagittal plane of the body, be...
متن کاملThree-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography of the atrial septal defects
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 three-dimensional transesophagea...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of atrial septal defects with transthoracic echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate our clinical experience using an Amplatzer septal occluder for catheter closure of a secundum atrial septal defect under transthoracic echocardiography guidance without general anaesthesia. METHODS Patients eligible for transcatheter atrial septal defect closure were selected using transthoracic echocardiography. The largest defect diameter meas...
