Subcostal views of 3D TTE of MPR images using the AH technique in a 4-year-old boy during ASD closure. a The en face oblique atrial view shows a very thick atrial septum (S) and an ovoid-shaped defect measuring 4 × 8 mm in size. b The entire route of the delivery cable (C) passing correctly from the RA across the atrial septum to the LA. c The LD was deployed in the LA and pushed against the atrial septum (S). d The RD was deployed in the RA. e The occluder was deployed in the approximate position and its final position was confirmed by TEE images. Abbreviations: AH, artificial hand; TTE, transthoracic echocardiography; MPR, multiplanar reformatting; ASD, atrial septal defect; TV, tricuspid valve; C, delivery cable; PV, pulmonary vein; IVC, inferior vena cava; RD, right disc; LD, left disc
