Although late complications of percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect (ASD), including cardiac erosion and thrombosis, are rare, they are the most lethal. Data are still lacking regarding the usefulness of new imagining modalities, such as three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE), for the detection of these complications. Here, we report the case of a 57-year-old woman in whom cardiac erosion was very well visualized by 3D transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) after percutaneous ASD closure.
尽管经皮房间隔缺损（ASD）封堵术的晚期并发症，包括心脏侵蚀和血栓形成，较为罕见，但却是最致命的。关于三维超声心动图（3DE）等新型成像方式在检测这些并发症方面的效用，目前仍缺乏相关数据。在此，我们报告一例57岁女性患者，其在经皮ASD封堵术后，通过三维经食管超声心动图（3D TEE）清晰地观察到了心脏侵蚀情况。
