Is dynamic three-dimensional color flow Doppler reconstruction feasible and advantageous for assessing mitral regurgitation during transesophageal echocardiography?

Population

46 patients undergoing a clinically indicated transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) study with mitral regurgitation detected on a previous transthoracic study. Atrial fibrillation or poor image quality were not used as exclusion criteria.

Intervention

Dynamic three-dimensional (3D) color flow Doppler reconstruction of regurgitant jets obtained from transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) using a rotational mode of acquisition at 3-degree intervals over 180 degrees.

Comparator

Two-dimensional (2D) color flow Doppler (historical/standard technique comparison)

Outcome

Feasibility of 3D reconstruction of regurgitant mitral flow jetssurrogate

Dynamic 3D color flow Doppler reconstruction during TEE is feasible and provides enhanced spatial information on mitral regurgitant jets, particularly for eccentric and paravalvular leaks.
