  • Title: Successful three-dimensional reconstruction using transesophageal echocardiography in a patient with a left atrial myxoma.

    Abstract:
    Two-dimensional echocardiography can provide intracardiac images. However, the cross-sectional images require mental reconstruction to understand a three-dimensional intracardiac structure. It is sometimes hard for inexperienced echocardiographers to engage in reconstruction. Thus, three-dimensional echocardiography is potentially beneficial because these images can provide extra information without mental reconstruction. Herein we demonstrate three-dimensional reconstruction using transesophageal echocardiography in a patient with a left atrial myxoma. It contributed to clarifying the surgical considerations, including whether the tumor was adhering to the left atrium or the mitral valve.
