Key result
Three-dimensional color Doppler transesophageal echocardiography successfully reconstructed a long segment of the proximal left vertebral artery, complementing two-dimensional imaging.
Case Report (n=1)
Three-dimensional color Doppler TEE can successfully reconstruct the proximal left vertebral artery, complementing 2-D TEE by allowing cross-sectional views at any desired level.
May aid vertebral artery visualization in select cases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
We present a patient in whom we successfully reconstructed a long segment of the proximal left vertebral artery in three dimensions using color Doppler transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Three-dimensional (3-D) color Doppler TEE may complement two-dimensional (2-D) TEE by its ability to view cross sections of the left vertebral artery at any desired level from the 3-D data stored in the computer.

ANSINGKAR et al. (2001) reported a case report. Three-dimensional color Doppler transesophageal echocardiography vs. Two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was evaluated on Reconstruction of the proximal left vertebral artery. Three-dimensional color Doppler transesophageal echocardiography successfully reconstructed a long segment of the proximal left vertebral artery, complementing two-dimensional imaging.
