Implication

3D-TEE aids MVA detection in endocarditis; leaves open prospective validation before routine use.

Structured PICO

Population

1 young man with Marfan syndrome morphotype, bicuspid aortic valve, and infective endocarditis

Intervention

Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography (3D-TEE)

Outcome

Diagnosis of multiple mitral valve aneurysms and aortic root abscess

3D-TEE is an effective imaging modality for the early and accurate diagnosis of rare complications of infective endocarditis, such as multiple mitral valve aneurysms and aortic root abscess, facilitating prompt surgical intervention.
