We report our initial experience using real-time (live) three-dimensional (3D) transthoracic echocardiographic imaging under conscious sedation as a guide for transcatheter device closure of atrial septal defects. We believe this may be a feasible, safe, and effective alternative to the standard practice of transesophageal echocardiography, which requires general anesthesia and endotacheal intubation. Three-dimensional echocardiography may better define atrial septal anatomy and adjacent structures in planning for and performing percutaneous device closure of selected atrial septal defects.
我们报告了在清醒镇静状态下使用实时(动态)三维经胸超声心动图成像作为经导管封堵房间隔缺损的指导的初步经验。我们认为,这可能是一种可行、安全且有效的替代方法,可替代需要全身麻醉和气管插管的标准经食管超声心动图检查方法。三维超声心动图在计划和进行选定房间隔缺损的经皮封堵时,可能能更好地明确房间隔解剖结构及相邻结构。
