Discussion

Supports feasibility of 3D TEE reconstruction for aortic pathologies; leaves open need for prospective validation before clinical adoption.

Can three-dimensional reconstruction of transesophageal echocardiographic images be used to assess aortic dissection and other aortic pathologies?

Population

26 patients (22 with aortic dissection, 1 with aortic rupture, 2 with aortic aneurysm without dissection, and 1 with aortic tumor)

Intervention

Three-dimensional reconstruction of transesophageal two-dimensional echocardiographic images

Outcome

Assessment of aortic dissection, rupture, aneurysm, and tumorsurrogate

Three-dimensional reconstruction of transesophageal echocardiography can be applied to the assessment of aortic dissection and other aortic diseases.

Nanda et al. (1998) studied this question.
