Abstract

The complex anatomy of the heart may make differentiation of type, size, and extent of an atrial septal defect (ASD) difficult. Modern techniques of multislice cardiac computed tomography triggered by ECG are ideal for the detailed analysis of the interatrial septum and its associated pathologies. This review of clinical cases offers a detailed description, from the visual point of view, of the different types of ASD.
