Key result
Live 3D transoesophageal echocardiography was more valuable than 2D TEE for assessing circumferential mitral lesions and guiding surgical planning in a case of mitral valve prolapse.
Why the study?
Does live 3D TEE improve the assessment of mitral lesions and surgical planning compared to 2D TEE in a patient with mitral valve prolapse?
Does live 3D TEE improve the assessment of mitral lesions and surgical planning compared to 2D TEE in a patient with mitral valve prolapse?
Live 3D TEE may provide superior visualization for surgical planning in mitral valve prolapse compared to standard 2D TEE.
May inform planning in select mitral prolapse cases; single observation leaves open need for systematic comparison.
We experienced a case in which live 3D transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was found much more valuable than 2D TEE in assessing mitral lesions in circumferential direction and making surgical plans for mitral valve prolapse.
