Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) is a feasible method for determining VSD area and is more accurate than 2DE for evaluating the area of multiple or noncircular VSDs. Real-time 3D color Doppler echocardiography (RT3D-CDE) is a feasible method for quantifying the shunt volume of multiple or noncircular VSDs.
