Real-Time 3-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography During Double Percutaneous Mitral Edge-to-Edge Procedure

Real-Time 3-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography: Its Incremental Value over 2-Dimensional Echocardiography in Assessing Acute Mitral Regurgitation.

Real-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography: precise evaluation of a rocking mitral annuloplasty ring.

A 48-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension was admitted with acute dyspnea and pyrexia. Echocardiographic examination revealed a dilated and volumeoverloaded left ventricle and severe mitral regurgitation due to ruptured chordae tendinae resulting in posterior leaflet prolapse. Blood cultures were negative. The patient was treated with antibiotics considering that he had a chest i...

Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiogram provides real-time guidance during percutaneous paravalvular mitral repair.

A 65-year-old woman with severe paravalvular mitral regurgitation and chronic hemolytic anemia was referred for surgical consultation. Her medical history included rheumatic heart disease with mitral valve replacement in 1977, aortic valve replacement in 1988, and repeat mechanical mitral valve replacement in 2002. Predominant symptoms were New York Heart Association function class III dyspnea ...

Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography to predict artificial chordae length for mitral valve repair

BACKGROUND Artificial chordae replacement is an effective technique for mitral valve repair, however, it is difficult to accurately determine the length of artificial chordae. This study aimed to assess the reliability and accuracy of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to predict the length of artificial chordae preoperatively. METHODS From December 2008 to Dec...
