چکیده

The complex anatomy of mitral valve demands precise and sophisticated imaging during any intervention .Transesophageal echocardiography has been the most frequently used modality. With the advent of three-dimensional echocardiography a more comprehensive description of the mitral valve is now possible. This review aims to discuss the framework for imaging the mitral valve by three-dimensional echocardiography; its current status and the limitations of three-dimensional echocardiography in its current platform.

Anterior mitral leaflet perforation identified by real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.

With its unique en face view, real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography has been reported to be more precise than conventional two-dimensional studies in evaluating mitral regurgitation etiology, and can locate diseased segments correctly. We present a case with severe mitral regurgitation due to anterior mitral leaflet perforation. Intraoperative real time three-dimensional ...

Utility of real‐time three‐dimensional echocardiography in improved assessment of a mitral valve papillary fibroelastoma

Primary cardiac tumors are exceedingly rare. They are usually first identified by transthoracic echocardiography. However, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), with the aid of real-time three-dimensional (3D) imaging, can provide additional important mass characteristics. We present a case that demonstrates the usefulness of 3D TEE in characterizing a papillary fibroelastoma.

Mitral valve Libman-Sacks endocarditis visualized by real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.

Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE) is a common manifestation of valve disease in antiphospholipid syndrome. Mitral valve LSE is characterized by verrucous vegetations on the atrial surfaces of valve leaflets. In this report, mitral valve LSE was visualized by real time 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). 3D TEE provides a unique en face view of the mitral valve akin to a surgical or autopsy...

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...
