Figure 6

a) Same image as in Fig. 5, reoriented to be compared with Fig. 6b; the right part is added to show "virtual" anatomy(yellow line-drawing in the grey sector), should the probe be placed higher in the esophagus; b) Modified from"The echo manual 2nd edition" by Oh JK, Seward JB, Tajik AJ. SVD image obtained using the correct scan plane(higher transducer positioning compared with Fig. 6a) for imaging of the higher atrial septum and eventual SVD; the presence of the right pulmonary artery(RPA), here showed in its short axis, posteriorly to the fatty limbus of the atrial septum, confirms correct positioning for eventual SVD imaging(SVD is definitely present in this case).
