Three-dimensional imaging of cardiac structures could enhance the functional understanding and the interpretation of pathologies. Limited processing capabilities, relocation problems and inadequate two-dimensional image quality have previously limited its applicability.

Visualization of Submitral Structure by Three‐Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography
Echocardiography, 2013ObjectiveThe conventional mid‐esophageal observation by three‐dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) sometimes fails to visualize the subvalvular apparatus. In this study, we compared the effectiveness of the transgastric approach by 3DTEE in visualizing the mitral valve complex with the conventional mid‐esophageal approach.MethodsWe ...

Live/Real Time Three‐Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography
Echocardiography, 2012Since the advent of matrix array transducer, three‐dimensional transesophageal echocardiography has come to frequent clinical use. It has significantly enhanced the communication between the operators and cardiac imagers in the operating room as well as in the cardiac interventional labs. This article reviews the history, technological aspects, and the

Pulmonary Vein Stenosis Assessed by Three‐Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography
Echocardiography, 2013Mini‐AbstractWe report a case about a 43‐year‐old man admitted to hospital with progressive exertional dyspnea and hemoptysis. Two months before admission, he had undergone radiofrequency ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Subsequent investigation revealed a severe obstruction of the left upper pulmonary vein (LUPV).

Biatrial Paradoxical Embolism Identified by Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2013A 44-year-old woman, who was a computer engineer and often sat for long periods of time, experienced right lower leg swelling and recovered spontaneously. Three days later, she experienced chest discomfort with a suddenly onset, and her dyspnea progressed.

Detection of LV apical thrombus by three‐dimensional transesophageal echocardiography
Echocardiography, 2019AbstractIntroductionPatients with apical myocardial infarction are at higher risk of developing left ventricular (LV) thrombi. Standard transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is commonly used in assessing cardiac source of embolic cerebrovascular accident (CVA).

Quantification of mitral valve stenosis by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography
The International Journal of Cardiac Imaging, 1996The aim of this study was the evaluation of the diagnostic potentials of transesophageal 3D- echocardiography in the determination of mitral valve stenosis. 54 patients were investigated by transthoracic and multiplane transesophageal echocardiography. In 41 patients cardiac catheterization was performed.

Role of Three‐Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography in Diagnosis of Coronary Anomalies
Echocardiography, 2014Mini‐AbstractA 16‐year‐old man was referred to our institution after a recovered sudden cardiac death supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. A three‐dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) revealed a left anterior descending coronary artery arising from the right coronary sinus with a course between the aorta and the pulmonary

Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in the diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse
American Heart Journal, 1994Because the anulus of the mitral valve is nonplanar in systole, false-positive diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse may result from two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. Because of the superior image quality of TEE, we used the three-dimensional TEE technique to evaluate the mitral valve in both normal subjects and patients with mitral valve ...

Real-Time Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography
2010In the 1970s, pioneers explored the esophagus with ultrasound in patients with chronic lung disease. They obtained M-Mode recordings of the left ventricle, the aortic root, the mitral valve, and the left atrium. In 18 of 38 patients examined, recordings were of sufficient quality to allow precise measurements of linear dimensions.1 Thirty years later ...
