Key result
Live three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography enabled comprehensive noninvasive assessment and clear en face visualization of a post-infarction ventricular septal rupture.
Live 3D transthoracic echocardiography provides a comprehensive noninvasive method for visualizing and assessing ventricular septal rupture following myocardial infarction.
We present an elderly patient with ventricular septal rupture following myocardial infarction in whom live three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography allowed comprehensive noninvasive assessment of the location, shape, and size of the septal defect, which could be clearly visualized en face from both left and right ventricular aspects.
