A 32-year-old female patient with ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) and a history of ischaemic stroke. Patient had atrial device implantation. (a) Three-dimensional apical 4-chamber view, ASD. (b) Transesophageal three-dimensional longitudinal view, ASD shape. (c) Transesophageal 4-chamber view, left-to-right shunt by color Doppler. (d) Postdevice three-dimensional apical 4-chamber view showing absence of shunt flow. IVC = inferior vena cava; LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle; SVC = superior vena cava.
