Why the study?

Does transoesophageal cross-sectional echocardiography improve the detection of ostium secundum atrial septal defects compared to transthoracic echocardiography?

Population

20 patients with an ostium secundum atrial septal defect and 30 control subjects

Comparison

Transoesophageal cross-sectional echocardiography vs Transthoracic cross-sectional echocardiography

Design

Cross-sectional

Implication

TEE may aid ASD detection when TTE is inconclusive; leaves open whether it changes management or outcomes.

Structured PICO

Does transoesophageal cross-sectional echocardiography improve the detection of ostium secundum atrial septal defects compared to transthoracic echocardiography?

P
Population
20 patients with an ostium secundum atrial septal defect and 30 control subjects
I
Intervention
Transoesophageal cross-sectional echocardiography (with and without peripheral venous contrast)
C
Comparator
Transthoracic cross-sectional echocardiography
O
Outcome
Detection of ostium secundum atrial septal defectssurrogate

Transoesophageal cross-sectional echocardiography is highly sensitive and superior to the transthoracic approach for detecting and evaluating ostium secundum atrial septal defects.
