2 Fig 1 Preoperative transesophageal echocardiography. Echocardiography reveals that a tricuspid pouch protrudes into the right ventricle. Arrow indicates tricuspid pouch. (LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2008 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Intraoperative view of the tricuspid pouch. The right atrium is opened to reveal a tricuspid pouch (1.5 cm in diameter), adjacent to the septal leaflet. The probe passed from the left to the right ventricle through the interventricular communication (arrow). (Ao = aorta; I = inferior; L = left; R = right; S = superior.)
