Abstract
By 3-dimensional echocardiography, the location, relation to the aortic and tricuspid valve, and the size of the ventricular septal defect was assessed and compared with 2-dimensional echocardiography and intraoperative findings. We concluded that 3-dimensional echocardiography accurately assesses the anatomy of the ventricular septal defect, provides additional information, and can be considered a valuable preoperative diagnostic tool.
