X-ray of atrial septal occlusion device.

30 year old female

An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect characterized by a permanent hole in the wall separating the heart's upper chambers, which causes oxygen-rich blood to leak back into the lungs and overload the right side of the heart. To correct this, a cardiac septal occlusion device is delivered through a minimally invasive catheter inserted into a groin vein and guided up to the heart. Once in position, the self-expanding, double-disk device deploys to tightly clamp the tissue on both sides of the hole, sealing the opening permanently and allowing natural heart tissue to grow over the implant over time.

This film will teach you the movement of the jugular pulse in the neck, and how to relates to the beating of the heart. You will also learn the examination techniques to observe it.
