 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 6 Atrial septal aneurysm expansion defects and interventional ultrasound Expansion of atrial septal aneurysm is a rare congenital disease of atrial septal abnormalities, is some or all of the left atrial or right atrial tumor-like room bulging; incidence of multiple parts of the oval fossa in the atrial septum, a very small number of all invasive atrial septum [1]. in our hospital from July 2008 to May 2010, the application of color Doppler echocardiography in 37 patients, ultrasound occlusion of atrial septal defect in parallel. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General Information The group of 37 patients were hospitalized in our hospital and patients, 15 males and 22 females, aged 2 to 76 years, mean 58.3 years .3 cases because of apex systolic murmur grade ~ treatment; 6 cases because of heart palpitations, chest tightness, headache; 4 cases of atrial arrhythmia treatment ECG found; 16 patients because of preoperative routine echocardiography found; 8 cases were found healthy. Siemens 512 1.2 Methods Color Doppler echocardiography diagnostic equipment, the probe frequency of 2.5 ~ 3.5MHz, patients with left lateral position or supine position to take, first as a conventional two-dimensional echocardiography section scanning, measuring the size of the heart chamber and the aorta, pulmonary artery root diameter and wall thickness, valve morphology and activity status of observation to observe the situation in the pericardial cavity, enable the color Doppler techniques to learn whether the regurgitation of the valve, and then focus on scanning parasternal four chamber, apical four chamber, the sword and the aortic root of four-chamber short axis view, observation of atrial septal morphology, to the continuous relations and activities, whether the observed septal shunt. 1.3 Statistical Methods count information to (x +-s) said. 2 Results 37 cases showed the limitations of the central septum, semi-circular pock
