Ventricular Septal Defect: the Three-Dimensional Point of View
نویسندگان
چکیده
This case highlights the clinical usefulness of three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography. The diagnosis of inter-ventricular septal defect associated with aortic regurgitation has been performed in a 50-year-old man using 3D echocardiography. This advanced echocardiography could accurately reproduce the anatomy of the defect and provide further insights in the mechanisms of aortic regurgitation showing an unusual non-coronary cusp prolapse. The routinely use of 3D echocardiography in clinics might allow a better characterization of cardiac anatomy, especially of aortic valve disorders.

Herein, we present the case of a 10-year-old child suffering from right-sided infective endocarditis with ventricular septal defect. Echocardiography revealed multiple rare large vegetations on the pulmonary valve extending into pulmonary artery along with a large vegetation over the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve.

متن کاملTranscatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects with Amplatzer occluder assessed by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.
We report our initial experience in two patients using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography to assess perimembranous ventricular septal defect and device morphology and their relation with contiguous cardiac structure. Defect size and rims as well as device position and profile were displayed from the three-dimensional "en face" views. We think that real-time three-dimensional echocardi...
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of a post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect guided by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.
We present an adult patient who had an acute myocardial infarction complicated by a ventricular septal defect and had it repaired percutaneously. Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3D) before and during the closure procedure were performed. RT3D provided anatomical and functional information of the defect as well as real-time guidance during the procedure. This case highlights the ...
