Live 3-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography

چکیده
Conclusions The use of 3D-MTEE imaging, which is feasible in most patients, provides superb imaging of native MVs, which makes this modality an excellent choice for MV surgical planning and guidance of percutaneous interventions. Optimal aortic and tricuspid valve imaging will depend on further technological developments. Fast acquisition and immediate online display will facilitate wider acceptance and routine use in clinical practice.

Partial detachment of tricuspid valve annuloplasty ring detected by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography
A 45-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with shortness of breath and swelling in the leg. Ten months prior to the admission she had undergone mitral valve replacement (31 St. Jude bioprosthesis) and tricuspid valve annuloplasty (33 Medtronic ring) because of carcinoid heart disease. All infective parameters were within the normal limits and no fever was detected. A two-dimensi...
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of multiple secundum atrial septal defects using 3 amplatzer atrial septal occluder devices: evaluation by live transthoracic 3-dimensional echocardiography.
A previously healthy 12-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital with acute pneumonitis. On admission, a heart murmur was detected. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed multiple secundum atrial septal defects with left-toright shunt and signs of right ventricular volume overload. He underwent right cardiac catheterization and transesophageal echocardiogram (transesophageal echocardiography)...
متن کاملLive/real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic evaluation of mitral and aortic valve prosthetic paravalvular regurgitation.
Thirteen patients already scheduled for surgery for repair of prosthetic paravalvular regurgitation underwent intraoperative real time two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2D TEE) and live/real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE). In all patients, 3D TEE was able to provide more information regarding the location and size of the paravalvular defect as c...
متن کاملSuccessful transcatheter closure of a residual patent ductus arteriosus with complex anatomy after surgical ligation using an amplatzer ductal occluder guided by live three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.
Residual patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) after surgical ligation is not common, but the anatomy of the residual duct may be distorted by the surgical ligation resulting in a difficult transcatheter closure. Such distorted anatomy of the duct may not be demonstrated by the two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2D TEE). Fortunately, live 3D TEE provided the precise anatomy of the elong...
متن کاملThe ability of live three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography to evaluate the attachment site of intracardiac tumors.
In this study, a case of a right ventricular myxoma and a case of a right ventricular hemangioma are used to demonstrate the ability of live three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) to assess the site of tumor attachment. Because 3DTEE has the ability to visualize desired structures in multiple planes, we defined the attached portion of the tumors and measured the en face view...
متن کاملThe routine use of live three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in mitral valve surgery: clinical experience.
BACKGROUND Perioperative monitoring of mitral valve (MV) anatomy, function, and pathology is essential for surgical management of different MV disease. AIMS To overcome the several potential pitfalls of two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2D TEE) and offline 3D TEE. METHODS Live 3D TEE was used to assess 73 patients (44 men and 29 women) with Carpentier type II MV regurgitatio...
