Real time 3D echocardiography with real time volume rendering may offer advantages over conventional 2D echocardiography in evaluating patients undergoing percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty.
A 43 year old Latin American female underwent percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMV). The patient was evaluated by conventional 2D echocardiography and by Real time 3D echocardiography with real time volume rendering (RT-3D RTVR), before and after PMV. The utility of RT-3D RTVR in evaluating patients for PMV and its advantages over 2D are illustrated in this presentation.
