Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography is a valuable tool for identifying the mechanism of acute prosthetic valve dysfunction, such as subvalvular tissue entrapment, when 2D imaging is inconclusive.
Mandisa Jones Haywood (2015) conducted a case report in Prosthetic transvalvular regurgitation (n=1). Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was evaluated. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography successfully identified subvalvular tissue entrapment causing prosthetic transvalvular regurgitation after mitral valve replacement.
