Three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography provides incremental value over two-dimensional imaging for assessing tricuspid valve prolapse with mid-to-late systolic regurgitation.
What is the incremental value of three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in assessing tricuspid valve prolapse with mid-to-late systolic tricuspid regurgitation?
Three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography offers incremental value over 2D imaging for assessing tricuspid valve prolapse, but care must be taken to avoid pitfalls in grading regurgitation severity.

We present the two-dimensional echocardiographic findings of tricuspid valve prolapse with mid-to-late systolic tricuspid regurgitation and describe the incremental value provided by live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. We also discuss a potential pitfall when assessing the severity of regurgitation in this setting.
