Abstract

The morphologic features of the multiple atrial septal defects assessed by TTE-based 3D imaging were similar to those by 3D-TEE. TTE-based 3D model had excellent visibility, allowing observation of 3D structure of the rims of the defects. It may be useful method for assessment of the multiple atrial septal defects.

Keywords: inferior vena cava rim deficiency; multiple atrial septal defects; three‐dimensional echocardiography; three‐dimensional rim modeling.
