Three-dimensional echocardiography in congenital malformations of the mitral valve - 01/09/11
Abstract |
Three-dimensional echocardiography has proved to be valuable in congenital heart disease by enhancing the evaluation of morphologic abnormalities and increasing the understanding of complex relationships. This study was undertaken to determine how 3-dimensional echocardiography could be best used to study some of the congenital malformations of the mitral valve such as mitral arcade, double orifice mitral valve, accessory mitral tissue, cleft mitral valve, and unicuspid mitral valve. Five patients were studied. Three-dimensional echocardiography was found to be helpful in defining spatial location and extent of deformities. (J Am Soc Echocardiogr 2002;15:468-72.)
