    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Echocardiography
    • Interventional Cardiology

    Background:

    • Balloon atrial septostomy is a critical procedure for neonates with congenital heart defects.
    • Accurate guidance is essential to ensure procedural success and minimize risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using two-dimensional echocardiography for guiding balloon atrial septostomy in neonates.
    • To describe the specific echocardiographic views and techniques employed.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved 18 neonates undergoing balloon atrial septostomy.
    • Two-dimensional echocardiography was utilized for real-time catheter guidance.
    • A subcostal long-axis view was initially used, followed by medial transducer tilting to visualize the interatrial septum.

    Main Results:

    • The echocardiographic guidance allowed for precise catheter navigation into the left atrium.
    • The procedure was successfully monitored throughout, with the catheter remaining consistently in view.
    • No complications were reported, indicating a safe application of the technique.

    Conclusions:

    • Two-dimensional echocardiography provides effective and safe guidance for balloon atrial septostomy in neonates.
    • This imaging modality simplifies catheter manipulation and enhances procedural safety.
