Does 3DTTE improve the identification of all three cusps of the pulmonary valve compared to two-dimensional echocardiography in patients with incomplete visualization?

Population

Patients in whom only two leaflets of the pulmonary valve could be detected by two-dimensional echocardiography

Intervention

Live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (3DTTE)

Comparator

Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography

Outcome

Identification of all three cusps of the pulmonary valvesurrogate

3DTTE provides incremental value over 2D echocardiography for accurately identifying pulmonary valve cusps by allowing enface viewing and assessing relationships to surrounding structures.
