Thanks a lot for comment! You´re absolutely right! This patient has a trisomy 21. But we weren´t under the impression that there is a AVSD after TEE. In TEE we couldn´t detect a splitting of the anterior (superior) bridging leaflet and we found no attachment of the anterior leaflet to the ventricular septum by chordae tendineae. Overall we had no indications for AVSD. But you´re right, in that vid it looks like AVSD.
Could these images be from a Down's syndrome patient?
It appears to be a left-dominent Rastelli type A looking at the implant of the bridging leaflet(appears to be attached to chordae implanted on the LV side of the Septum).
about 50 y old patient with septic shock. A genetic defect is known. There exists no documents of clinical history. In Part 1 you can see the transthoracal echocardiography: we could see an ASD, a VSD. There is no sign of AV-canal or a stenosis of the pulmonary valve. Furthermore we see a distinct hypertrophy of the right cavum (about 14-15 mm; by comparison with the left ventricular: 12-13 mm).
