Key result
Live three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography accurately visualized the exact site, full extent, and narrow opening of a subaortic membrane causing severe stenosis in an adult patient.
Live three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography can effectively visualize the detailed anatomy of discrete subaortic membranous stenosis.
May aid noninvasive subaortic stenosis assessment; leaves open prospective validation of live 3D TTE.
We describe an adult patient in whom live three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography illustrated the exact site and full extent of the subaortic membrane as well as the narrow opening within the membrane, indicative of severe stenosis. To our knowledge this has not been reported previously.
