Recent studies suggest that the left‐sided septal pouch (SP) may increase the risk of cryptogenic stroke and act as an arrhythmogenic substrate. The aim of this study was to compare two transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) projections of the interventricular septum: mid‐esophageal bicaval and short‐axis views toward evaluating their ability to detect SPs.
