Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) images acquired after completion of ASD repair showed intact ASD repair and a high-velocity jet of uncertain significance entering the right atrium that was eliminated by clamping the inferior vena cava (IVC) (Figure 1, Video 1).
Post-Operative Transthoracic Echocardiogram Apical 4-Chamber View Shows High-Velocity Jet in the Right Atrium. Arrow indicates the high velocity jet entering the right atrium on this still frame.

A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) obtained 2 days post-operatively again demonstrated the high-velocity jet entering the right atrium (Figure 2), as well as a nonobstructive echodensity in the IVC just proximal to the right atrial junction.
