Safety and Efficacy of Transcatheter Occlusion of Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect with Aortic Valve Prolapse: A Six-Year Follow-Up Study

Figure 2

(a) Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showing the location of perimembranous ventricular septal defect and color Doppler image demonstrating a left to right jet through the defect (white arrows). (b) Moderate AVP is evident (white arrows). (c) TTE demonstrating optimal occluder position and absence of residual shunt after release of the occluder (white arrows). (d) After successfully implanting VSD occluder, parasternal long-axis TTE confirms no AR (LA = left atrium; RA = right atrium; RVOT = right ventricular outflow tract; MPA = main pulmonary artery; LV = left ventricle; AVP = aortic valve prolapse; AR = aortic regurgitation; VSD = ventricular septal defect; AAO = ascending aorta).
