PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGY and CARDIAC SURGERY VOL. 26 NO. 2 (132 139) 心室中隔欠損 心エコー診断について Key words: ventricular septal defect, Soto s classification, echocardiographic diagnosis Ventricular Septal Defect Echocardiographic Diagnosis of Ventricular Septal Defect Hirofumi Tomimatsu Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Tokyo Women s Medical University, Tokyo, Japan Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most common form of congenital heart disease when the bicuspid aortic valve is excluded. Many ways to classify VSDs have been proposed. According to the report by Soto et al., the ventricular septum is regarded as having four components: an inlet septum separating the mitral and tricuspid valves; a trabecular septum, which extends from the attachments of the tricuspid leaflets outward to the apex and upward to the crista supraventricularis; the smooth-walled outlet or infundibular septum, which extends from the crista to the pulmonary valve; and the membranous septum, which is relatively small and is usually divided into two parts by the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. The anatomic localization of all VSDs is facilitated by using 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic images with a Doppler system and by superimposing the color-coded direction and velocity of blood flow on the real-time images. However, to be diagnosed without taking into account the limitations of echocardiography leads to misdiagnosis, resulting in more instances of adopting the wrong method and timing of treatment. This paper mainly discusses echo diagnosis for the simple perforation type of VSD only. 要旨 ventricular septal defect VSD VSD はじめに ventricular septal defect VSD 60 1 Fallot 解剖, 分類 3 Fig. 1 trabecular septmarginalis TSM 2 anterior limb of TSM 36 26 2

The location of a defect, as seen from the right side of the septum. Patterns indicate where lesions are visualized on LV short-axis (papillary muscle level), GAs short-axis, apical four-chamber, apical five-chamber, LV long-axis, and RV long-axis images. RV: right ventricle, LV: left ventricle, GAs: great arteries, TV: tricuspid valve, RVOT: right ventricular outflow tract, LA: left atrium, RA: right atrium, MV: mitral valve, Ao: aorta Fig. 4 The relations with the extension direction of ventricular septal defect and attachment position of medial papillary muscle. a: Defects extending into the inlet septum: The medial papillary muscle was usually found above the defect. b: Defects extending into the trabecular septum: The medial papillary muscle tended to originate from the midpoint of the right side of the defect. c: Defects extending into the infundibulum: The medial papillary muscle was below the defect. 22 3 1 39
