- Title
Clinical Implication (Application) of Measurement of Device Size in Patients With Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) by 3-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography (3D TEE).

- Abstract
This article discusses the clinical implications of using 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) to measure the size of atrial septal defects (ASDs) in patients. ASDs are common congenital heart defects, and accurate measurement of the defect size is crucial for selecting the appropriate occlusion device for transcatheter closure. The study highlights the advantages of 3D TEE in accurately measuring the size and shape of complex-shaped ASDs, as well as its potential to reduce fluoroscopy time and radiation exposure. However, it also acknowledges the need for operator expertise and additional time for processing 3D data sets. Further large-scale studies are recommended to validate these findings.
