We studied nine patients (five newborns and infants, two children, and two adults) with atrioventricular septal defects (four complete, one intermediate, and four partial) utilizing live/real time three‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (3DTTE) and a 4‐MHz matrix array transducer. In all patients, 3DTTE provided additional morphological and/or functional information as compared to standard two‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2DTTE). 3DTTE may be a useful supplement to 2DTTE in the assessment of atrioventricular septal defects.
