I usually recommend a transesophageal echo (TEE) to better visualize the ASD. Many can be closed with an umbrella-like device deployed nonsurgically through a catheter. Prognosis is usually excellent unless the pulmonary hypertension is severe. Good luck.
would the TEE be performed during the catheterization?
i believe this is the next procedure i am scheduled for, but i'm not expecting any additional info until after the holiday weekend.
