Key result
Intraoperative 3D transesophageal echocardiography identified a large crescentic gap between the prosthetic valve annulus and the left ventricle, diagnosing fatal atrioventricular disruption after MVR.

May aid intraoperative recognition of atrioventricular disruption after MVR; leaves open whether routine 3D TEE alters outcomes.
Case Report (n=1)
Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography provides superior visualization over 2D imaging for the early intraoperative diagnosis of atrioventricular disruption following mitral valve replacement.
Chui et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Atrioventricular disruption after mitral valve replacement (n=1). Mitral valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting was evaluated. Intraoperative 3D transesophageal echocardiography identified a large crescentic gap between the prosthetic valve annulus and the left ventricle, diagnosing fatal atrioventricular disruption after MVR.
