Q. What are the Common congenital heart disease?
Fossa Ovalis ASD
Commonest defect is fossa ovalis ASD. It can be closed by devices. ASD should be sized in various views and their rims should also be assessed if device closure is planned. Trans-esophageal echo is a must before and during the procedure.
Sinus Venosus Defect
Commonly found in relation to SVC or IVC. It is usually associated with PAPVC of right pulmonary veins. It is best seen in sub-costal short axis view.
Ostium Primum ASD
It is caused by deficient lower part of atrial septum and is part of endocardia1 cushion defect. This is commonly associated with common AV valve or cleft mitral valve. ASD can be evaluated in subcostal short and long axis views. Associated findings like dilated RA, RV, abnormal septa1 motion should be recorded. TR and TR velocity are helpful in measuring the PA systolic pressure.
