Key result
Live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography provided incremental diagnostic value over two-dimensional echocardiography in 1 adult with complete atrioventricular septal defect.
Why the study?
Does live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography provide incremental diagnostic value over two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in an adult with complete AV septal defect?

Does live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography provide incremental diagnostic value over two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in an adult with complete AV septal defect?
Live/real time 3D transthoracic echocardiography offers superior diagnostic capabilities compared to 2D echocardiography in evaluating complex congenital heart defects like complete AV septal defect in adults.
May support 3D TTE in select adult AVSD cases; leaves open generalizability and outcome impact beyond this single report.
Live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography provided incremental value over two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in an adult patient with complete atrioventricular (AV) septal defect by (1) making a confident diagnosis of Rastelli type A defect, (2) providing en face view of all the five leaflets of the common AV valve, (3) diagnosing left ventricle to right atrial shunt, and (4) permitting more accurate quantitative assessment of regurgitant lesions.

Singh et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Complete atrioventricular septal defect (n=1). Live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography vs. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography was evaluated on Incremental diagnostic value. Live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography provided incremental diagnostic value over two-dimensional echocardiography in 1 adult with complete atrioventricular septal defect.
