Fig 1 Echocardiogram showing large traumatic rupture of the interventricular septum with a significant left-to-right shunt 12 hours after injury. (LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle; VSD = ventricular septal defect.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 67, 843-844DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)00044-2)
Fig 2 Transesophageal echocardiogram showing bulging of the patch on the right side with a persistent defect at the inferior suture line. (LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricular.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 67, 843-844DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)00044-2)
Fig 3 Postoperative transesophageal echocardiogram showing complete closure of the septal defect. (LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle, left ventricular; RV = right ventricle, right ventricular.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 67, 843-844DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)00044-2)
