Three‐dimensional and catheter‐based intracardiac echocardiographic characterization of the interatrial septum in 2 horses with suspicion of a patent foramen ovale

Abstract: This case report describes the 2-dimensional transthoracic (2D-TTE), 3-dimensional transthoracic (3D-TTE) and intracardiac echocardiographic (ICE) characterization of the fossa ovalis region in 2 horses. The first case was presented for poor performance and showed an anechoic zone in the interatrial septum on 2D-TTE. Based on 3D-TTE a deepened fossa ovalis could be identified and using ICE the presence of an interatrial shunt could be excluded. The second case was referred for a cardiac murmur and the presence… Show more

“…27,29,58,59 Three-dimensional echocardiography or intracardiac echocardiography may be useful as additional tools to further characterise cardiac anatomy and evaluate the size of defects. 19,60 While diagnosis and prognosis for CHDs can be informed by echocardiography and clinical signs, accurate classification of the CHD often presents a challenge for veterinarians as necropsy of case fatalities sometimes reveals conflicting results. 8,27 Most difficulties in CHD classification are seen in complex cases where multiple defects are at play, which may be more likely for Arabian horses if they are predisposed to a variety of CHDs.…”
