Types of Inter Atrial Septal (IAS) Aneurysm seen on Echocardiography

 


Apical four chamber view of echocardiogram showing Atrial Septal Aneurysm bowing into left and right atria like a swing. As its movement is bi directional, its type 5.


Classification of Inter atrial Aneurysm:

type 1R: bulging is in the right atrium only

type 2L: bulging is in the left atrium only

type 3RL: major excursion bulges to the right atrium and the lesser excursion bulges toward the left

type 4LR: maximal excursion of the atrial septal aneurysm is toward the left atrium with a lesser excursion toward the right atrium

type 5: atrial septal aneurysm movement is bidirectional and equidistant to both atria during the cardiorespiratory cycle.
