Transthoracic and transesophagael health cardiography is the standard imaging method to detect interatrial septum deficiencies, to select patients for transcatheter closure, to guide the interatrial procedure, and to follow up the patients. So wit

Transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal (TEE) echocardiography represent the basic imaging tools for interatrial septum examination. Three dimensional (3D) TEE provides incremental information in the assessment of the interatrial septum. Further advanced echocardiography techniques using speckle tracking echocardiography are applied for sensitive volumetric and functional assessment of the heart chambers.
