Key result
3D TEE-guided perventricular closure with an Amplatzer occluder successfully closes a traumatic apical VSD.
Why the study?
The role of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in guiding perventricular closure of traumatic apical muscular ventricular septal defects is important to demonstrate.

Can 3D TEE effectively guide perventricular closure of a traumatic apical muscular VSD using an Amplatzer occluder?
Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography can effectively guide the perventricular closure of traumatic apical muscular ventricular septal defects using an Amplatzer occluder.
Zhu et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Traumatic apical muscular ventricular septal defect (mVSD) (n=1). Perventricular closure using an Amplatzer mVSD occluder guided by 3D TEE was evaluated on Successful repair. Perventricular closure using an Amplatzer occluder guided by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was successfully conducted for a traumatic apical muscular ventricular septal defect.
