  • Title: Utility of 3D transoesophageal echocardiography for the assessment of tricuspid and pulmonary valves in carcinoid heart disease.
    Author: Bhattacharyya S, Burke M, Caplin ME, Davar J.
    Journal: Eur J Echocardiogr; 2011 Jan; 12(1):E4. PubMed ID: 20729293.
    Abstract:
    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.
