Key result
3D TEE provides superior spatial characterization and thrombus burden estimation over 2D imaging in PFO thrombus.

May aid complex thrombus assessment; leaves open whether 3D TEE alters management or outcomes versus 2D.
We report a case of a right atrial thrombus traversing a patent foramen ovale into the left atrium, where three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography provided considerable incremental value over two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in its assessment. As well as allowing us to better spatially characterize the thrombus, three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography provided a more quantitative assessment through estimation of total thrombus burden.

Thind et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Right atrial thrombus in transit through a patent foramen ovale into the left atrium (n=1). Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) vs. Two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2D TEE) was evaluated on Spatial characterization and quantitative estimation of total thrombus burden. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography provided superior spatial characterization and quantitative thrombus burden estimation over two-dimensional imaging in 1 patient with a PFO thrombus.
