Transesophageal Echocardiography of Mitral Valve Repair in a Case of Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm: 2D versus 3D
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Mitral valve repair is a common and preferred technique over mitral replacement whenever it feasible. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) not only reliably identify repairable but also guide appropriate intervention. In addition to two-dimensional (2D) TEE, the three-dimensional (3D) clearly delineates size shape of apparatus, determine repairability success technique. We illustrate 2D 3D TEE techniques that guided surgical intervention for Alfieri repair.

Transthoracic Echocardiography versus Transesophageal Echocardiography for Rupture Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm
We report a rare case of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm of both right and left coronary sinus (LCS), with perforation of the LCS opening into the left ventricle. The LCS aneurysm with its perforation was undiagnosed on transthoracic echocardiography emphasizing the role of transesophageal echocardiography in delineating the anatomy.
متن کاملBicuspid Aortic Valve: An Unusual Cause of Aneurysm of Left Coronary Sinus of Valsalva
Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...
متن کاملRole of Transesophageal Echocardiography in Rupture of Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm with Associated Infective Endocarditis
Introduction: Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) may have associated infective endocarditis in which case single aneurysm may drain into adjacent chamber of heart via multiple openings. We report a rare case of congenital SOVA with associated infective endocarditis where intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) helped in localizing two separate openings in the SOVA draining into right...
متن کاملTowards patient-specific modeling of mitral valve repair: 3D transesophageal echocardiography-derived parameter estimation
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is routinely used to provide important qualitative and quantitative information regarding mitral regurgitation. Contemporary planning of surgical mitral valve repair, however, still relies heavily upon subjective predictions based on experience and intuition. While patient-specific mitral valve modeling holds promise, its effectiveness is limited by assump...

a ruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm rarely accompanies the aortic and tricuspid valve endocarditis. a 36-year-old woman presented with low-threshold dyspnea on exertion and fever. transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed a ruptured noncoronary sinus of valsalva aneurysm with large vegetations on the tricuspid and aortic valves, resulting in moderately severe tricuspid regurgi...
