Key result
Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography successfully guided pulmonary vein isolation by allowing precise catheter navigation and visualization of the ligament of Marshall.
Case Report (n=1)
Real-time 3D TEE can provide high-resolution anatomical visualization to safely guide catheter navigation and radiofrequency energy delivery during pulmonary vein isolation.

Real-time 3D TEE guidance appears feasible for PVI; leaves open whether it improves outcomes versus standard imaging in larger studies.
Regoli et al. (2011) reported a case report. Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was evaluated on Electrical isolation of the pulmonary vein. Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography successfully guided pulmonary vein isolation by allowing precise catheter navigation and visualization of the ligament of Marshall.
