We present two- and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic findings of two adult patients who presented for reoperation after previous repair of a partial atrioventricular (AV) septal defect. Both patients had a cleft in the left AV valve with severe regurgitation. One patient had an additional 10 x 5 mm defect connecting the left ventricle to the right atrium through the AV junction. Three-dimensional echocardiography was superior to two-dimensional echocardiography in comprehensively delineating the anatomical defects in the left AV valve and the AV junction.
我们展示了两名成年患者的二维和三维经食管超声心动图检查结果，这两名患者曾接受部分房室间隔缺损修补术，此次前来接受再次手术。两名患者均有左房室瓣裂缺并伴有严重反流。其中一名患者还有一个10×5毫米的额外缺损，该缺损通过房室交界处将左心室与右心房相连。在全面描绘左房室瓣和房室交界处的解剖学缺损方面，三维超声心动图优于二维超声心动图。
