We report on the case of a 45-year-old lady with metastatic carcinoid tumour and carcinoid syndrome who develops severe valvulopathy involving the tricuspid and pulmonary valve. The use of three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography allowed more detailed morphological assessment of tricuspid and pulmonary valve pathology, sub-valvular apparatus and improved delineation of the relationship between these structures and surrounding cardiac chambers.
我们报告了一例45岁患有转移性类癌肿瘤和类癌综合征的女性患者，该患者出现了累及三尖瓣和肺动脉瓣的严重瓣膜病。三维经食管超声心动图的应用使得对三尖瓣和肺动脉瓣病变、瓣下结构进行更详细的形态学评估成为可能，并改善了对这些结构与周围心腔之间关系的描绘。
