Real time 3D echocardiography has an established incremental diagnostic value over 2D imaging, especially during transesophageal evaluation of native and prosthetic heart valves. A 66 years old male patient, with an history of previous cardiac surgery for mitral annuloplasty and recurrent fever, came to the attention of our echo lab with an indication for transesophageal echocardiography after previous inconclusive transthoracic echocardiograms. Real time 3D echocardiography and 3D color doppler imaging resulted of outmost importance to clarify the presence of annular ring dehiscence, previously not well defined from 2D echocardiography imaging.
实时三维超声心动图相对于二维成像具有已确定的增量诊断价值,尤其是在经食管评估天然心脏瓣膜和人工心脏瓣膜期间。一名66岁男性患者,有二尖瓣环成形术和反复发热的既往心脏手术史,在之前的经胸超声心动图检查结果不明确后,前来我们的超声心动图实验室接受经食管超声心动图检查。实时三维超声心动图和三维彩色多普勒成像对于明确瓣环裂开的存在极为重要,此前二维超声心动图成像未能很好地界定这一情况。
