Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography successfully guided the staged deployment of four Amplatzer septal occluder devices in a patient with complex multiple atrial septal defects.
Case Report (n=1)
Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography is a valuable imaging modality for guiding complex, staged transcatheter closures of multiple atrial septal defects.
May support 3D TEE guidance in select complex multiple ASD cases; leaves open generalizability and need for prospective data.
Transcatheter closure of complex multiple atrial septal defects (ASDs) remains a challenge. We describe our clinical experience with staged device deployment in a patient with multiple ASDs using four Amplatzer septal occluder devices. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography imaging contributed not only to the therapeutic guidance of successful device deployment but also to the decision making for the staged device delivery approach in a case of morphologically complex multiple ASDs.
