Key result
Three-dimensional echocardiography provides incremental value over multiplane transesophageal two-dimensional imaging in assessing Lambl's excrescences on the aortic valve.
Why the study?
Does three-dimensional echocardiography improve the assessment of Lambl's excrescences on the aortic valve compared to multiplane transesophageal two-dimensional imaging?
Does three-dimensional echocardiography improve the assessment of Lambl's excrescences on the aortic valve compared to multiplane transesophageal two-dimensional imaging?
Three-dimensional echocardiography provides incremental value over 2D TEE for assessing Lambl's excrescences on the aortic valve.
May inform select valvular assessments; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
The present case reports demonstrate the incremental value of three-dimensional echocardiography over multiplane transesophageal two-dimensional imaging in the assessment of Lambl's excrescences (strands) involving the aortic valve.
