May support 3D TEE guidance in valve and percutaneous procedures; leaves open need for outcome trials.
Does 3D TEE provide unique spatial information compared to 2D TEE or fluoroscopy for cardiac procedures?
3D TEE offers unique and dynamic spatial information that enhances cardiac valve repair, ventricular function assessment, and percutaneous procedure guidance compared to 2D TEE.
Kwak et al. (2009) conducted a review in Cardiac surgery. 3D transesophageal echocardiography vs. 2D TEE or fluoroscopy was evaluated. 3D transesophageal echocardiography provides unique and dynamic spatial information for cardiac procedures that cannot be obtained by 2D TEE or fluoroscopy.
