Key result
Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was used to evaluate two cases of rare mitral valve tumors, including a fibroelastoma and a cardiac amorphous tumor.
Case Report (n=2)
Real-time 3D transesophageal echocardiography can be used to evaluate rare mitral valve tumors such as fibroelastomas and cardiac amorphous tumors.
Hypothesis-generating for 3D TEE in rare mitral tumors; prospective validation needed before clinical adoption.

Ahlgren et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Rare Mitral Valve Tumors (n=2). Real Time Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography vs. 2D Transesophageal Echocardiography was evaluated. Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was used to evaluate two cases of rare mitral valve tumors, including a fibroelastoma and a cardiac amorphous tumor.
