Figures

None
Fig. 1 Two-dimensional transthoracic apical 4-chamber view shows tricuspid atresia and hypoplastic right ventricle. Note the aneurysmal atrial septum and the Chiari's network in the right atrium. AS = aneurysmal atrial septum; CC = Chiari's network; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle
None
Fig. 2 A close-up apical 4-chamber view demonstrates the Chiari's network extending across the right atrium. AS = aneurysmal atrial septum; CC = Chiari's network; TP = tricuspid plate
None
Fig. 3 Subcostal view reveals the attachment of the Chiari's network to the junction of the superior vena cava and the right atrium and its extension across the right atrium. AS = aneurysmal atrial septum; RA = right atrium; SVC = superior vena cava
