Abstract
Objective To estimate the feasibility and efficacy of real time three dimensional echocardiography(RT 3DE) in closure of secundum atrial septal defect(ASD) using Amplatzer septal occluder(ASO) in children.Methods Ten children patients with ASD and 9 children patients post closure using Amplatzer septal occluder were examined by transthoracic RT 3DE (Live 3D mode and Full Volume mode).Results The three dimensional view of ASD and ASO was displayed clearly by RT 3DE,including size,shape,position and spatial relations of ASD and ASO.Conclusions ASD and ASO could be evaluated quickly and accurately by RT 3DE,which has great value in closure of ASD.
