Abstract

This article presents a study on the use of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) in the evaluation of atrial septal defects (ASD) in adults. With 3D TEE, a more accurate anatomical assessment of the atrial septum is achieved, allowing precise measurement of size, shape, and border characteristics of the ASD. In a series of 27 cases, the 3D evaluation showed a strong correlation between measured parameters and the size of the closure device required. 3D TEE appears to be a significant advancement in cardiovascular imaging, enhancing pre-interventional assessment and the success of interventions for ostium secundum ASD.
