Key result
Real-time three-dimensional trans-oesophageal echocardiography successfully guided percutaneous transcatheter balloon dilation of a pulmonary venous pathway obstruction in a 40-year-old patient.
Case Report (n=1)
Real-time three-dimensional trans-oesophageal echocardiography is a useful tool for guiding transcatheter interventions in adults with congenital heart disease.
A percutaneous transcatheter balloon dilation of a pulmonary venous pathway obstruction was successfully performed in a 40-year-old patient after a Mustard procedure. During the procedure, real-time three-dimensional trans-oesophageal echocardiography demonstrated the morphology of the obstruction. Our case highlights the usefulness of real-time three-dimensional trans-oesophageal echocardiography as a guide for transcatheter intervention in the increasing number of adults with CHD.

Nitta et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Pulmonary venous pathway obstruction after a Mustard procedure for dextro-transposition of the great arteries (n=1). Real-time three-dimensional trans-oesophageal echocardiography-guided balloon dilation was evaluated on Successful percutaneous transcatheter balloon dilation. Real-time three-dimensional trans-oesophageal echocardiography successfully guided percutaneous transcatheter balloon dilation of a pulmonary venous pathway obstruction in a 40-year-old patient.
