“…In the field of the study of ASDs and closure devices 3D reconstruction of bidimensional images acquired at transesophageal echocardiography has been applied, 3 and more recently the 3D live transthoracic approach. 4 In the reported case the device was well recognizable in 3D images, as was the site of the mitral anterior leaflet tear, subsequently confirmed by intraoperative observations. Mitral valve anatomy and motion should be carefully evaluated before implanting a device for ASD closure.…”

“…Sinha et al57) reported 4 clinical cases of atrial septal defects and patent foramen ovale, where 3DE and 3D color Doppler were used to assess the efficacy of Amplatzer transcatheter occluder device and postprocedure complications, such as presence and magnitude of residual shunt and device malposition. Kasliwal et al56) also demonstrated the feasibility and the added diagnostic yield of 3DE in several patients with various congenital heart diseases: ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, Valsalva sinus aneurysm, Ebstein anomaly and supramitral rings.…”

The advent of three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) has significantly improved the impact of non-invasive imaging on our understanding and management of cardiac diseases in clinical practice. Transthoracic 3DE enables an easier, more accurate and reproducible interpretation of the complex cardiac anatomy, overcoming the intrinsic limitations of conventional echocardiography. The availability of unprecedented views of cardiac structures from any perspective in the beating heart provides valuable clinical information and new levels of confidence in diagnosing heart disease. One major advantage of the third dimension is the improvement in the accuracy and reproducibility of chamber volume measurement by eliminating geometric assumptions and errors caused by foreshortened views. Another benefit of 3DE is the realistic en face views of heart valves, enabling a better appreciation of the severity and mechanisms of valve diseases in a unique, noninvasive manner. The purpose of this review is to provide readers with an update on the current clinical applications of transthoracic 3DE, emphasizing the incremental benefits of 3DE over conventional two-dimensional echocardiography.

“…3DE is also able to evaluate the extent of residual surrounding tissue, and thus suitability for percutaneous closure. 3DE is increasingly used to guide percutaneous repair, evaluate procedural success, and identify the origin of residual shunting in patients with atrial and ventricular septal defects 24 …”

Echocardiography is the mainstay of cardiovascular diagnostics, and is the most performed test for the evaluation of cardiac function. Critical and costly management decisions are based on quantification of left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction. Recent advances in echocardiography, such as microsphere contrast echocardiography for left ventricular opacification and perfusion imaging, three-dimensional transthoracic and trans-oesophageal imaging, strain and tissue Doppler imaging, all contribute to improving accuracy and reproducibility of these important measurements. Such techniques are now routinely available on standard echocardiography equipment in Australian centres for daily use. Hand-carried ultrasound devices have been developed, which are portable, are affordable and offer increased availability of echocardiography to the wider community. Clinicians should be actively encouraged to adopt these technologies to improve the diagnostic quality and reproducability of echocardiography for our patients. This article provides an overview of important recent advances in echocardiographic imaging with an emphasis on their role in clinical practice today.
