  • Title: Percutaneous closure of a post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect guided by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.
    Author: Halpern DG, Perk G, Ruiz C, Marino N, Kronzon I.
    Journal: Eur J Echocardiogr; 2009 Jun; 10(4):569-71. PubMed ID: 19252186.
    Abstract:
    We present an adult patient who had an acute myocardial infarction complicated by a ventricular septal defect and had it repaired percutaneously. Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3D) before and during the closure procedure were performed. RT3D provided anatomical and functional information of the defect as well as real-time guidance during the procedure. This case highlights the utility of three-dimensional echocardiography in guiding transcatheter procedures.
