Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography of the atrial septal defects

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Transesophageal echocardiography has advantages over transthoracic technique in defining morphology of atrial structures. Even though real time three-dimensional echocardiographic imaging is a reality, the off-line reconstruction technique usually allows to obtai...
