Practice Atrial Septum Repair
This module allows physicians to practice repairing the atrial septum of the heart in patients who suffer from Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO), under fluoroscopic and echocardiographic guidance (ICE and TEE). The virtual patients present different ASD and PFO pathologies such as long tunnel PFO, thick septum secundum PFO, hypermobile atrial septum with PFO, and ASD with a deficient aortic rim.
Learning Objectives:
- To learn and practice the procedural steps of Atrial Septal Defect and Patent Foramen Ovale closure, such as sizing with balloon, doppler assessment, occluder deployment and more
- To practice management of intra-procedural complications
- To become familiar with standard Echo views when using ICE (intracardiac echo) and TEE (Transesophageal Echo)
- To practice ICE catheter manipulation and positioning to reach standard views
- To establish intracardiac anatomical orientation under fluoroscopy and echocardiography
Specialties:
Interventional Cardiology, Electrophysiology
