BACKGROUND: Two-dimensional (2D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is commonly used for assessing patients undergoing transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) device closure. 3D TEE, albeit providing high resolution en-face images of ASD, is used in only a fraction of cases. We aimed to perform a comparative analysis between 3D and 2D TEE assessment for ASD device planning. METHODS: This was a prospective, observational study conducted over a period of one year. Patients deemed suitable for device closure underwent 2D and 3D TEE at baseline. Defect characteristics, assessed separately in both modalities, were compared. Using regression analysis, we aimed to derive an equation for predicting device size using 3D TEE parameters. RESULTS: Thirty patients were included in the study, majority being females (83%). The mean age of the study population was 40.5 ± 12.05 years. Chest pain, dyspnea and palpitations were the common presenting complaints. All patients had suitable rims on 2D TEE. A good agreement was noted between 2D and 3D TEE for measured ASD diameters. 3D TEE showed that majority of defects were circular in shape (60%). The final device size used had high degree of correlation with 3D defect area and circumference. An equation was devised to predict device size using 3D defect area and circumference. The mean device size obtained from the equation was similar to the actual device size used in the study population (p = 0.31). CONCLUSIONS: Device sizing based on 3D TEE parameters alone is equally effective for transcatheter ASD closure as compared to 2D TEE.
Tuberculous Constrictive Pericarditis: A Classical Case and Review
Sudipta Mondal,Arun Gopalakrishnan,Sivadasanpillai Harikrishnan 아시아심장혈관영상의학회 2023 Cardiovascular Imaging Asia Vol.7 No.3
Clinical manifestations of constrictive and restrictive physiology often overlap, posing a challenge in choosing among treatment options. This dilemma is increased when significant pleural effusion contributes to the symptomatology. We present a case of chronic constrictive pericarditis as a sequela of tubercular pericarditis and causing right heart failure and pleural effusion in subsequent presentation.
