Abstract: 【Abstract】〓Objective〓To explore the value of echocardiography in minimal invasive occlusion of atrial septal defect (ASD). Methods〓Forty-three patients with ASD were admitted in Qingyuan People's Hospital between July 2013 and December 2014, which were confirmed by TTE. Of them, 31 cases were screened and underwent minimal invasive occlusion surgery. TEE was used for guiding and monitoring in occluding procedure, and TTE was also used for postoperative follow-up. Results〓Thirty-one patients got successful occlusion guided by TEE. There were no postoperative complications. One 3- mm residual shunt in one patient was found in followed-up at 3 months after operation. Conclusion Echocardiography plays an important role in screening ASD cases before the minimal invasive occlusion, real-time monitoring during the occlusion, and evaluating effect after occlusion.
