Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1.
Transesophageal echocardiography imaging before the TAVI showed IAS aneurysm (A), whereas no bubbles are present on the LA side during a bubble study, even with the Valsalva maneuver (B). IAS, interatrial septum; LA, left atrium; TEE, transesophageal echocardiography.
Figure 2.
Figure 2.
Left and middle images: 2D and 3D TEE images show severe IAS aneurysm. Right: Arrows showing the bubbles in the RA just after injection via the right femoral vein. IAS, interatrial septum; RA, right atrium; TEE, transesophageal echocardiography.
Figure 3.
Figure 3.
Left: Fluoroscopy imaging showing 35 mm septal occlusion device in situ before deployment, with Edwards S3 Ultra 26 mm transcatheter aortic valve device (+) and transesophageal probe visible. Right: TEE image showing the postprocedure negative bubble study with PFO occlusion device (*) in situ. PFO, patent foramen ovale; TEE, transesophageal echocardiography.
