  • Title: Incremental benefit of 3D transesophageal echocardiography: a case of a mass overlying a prosthetic mitral valve.
    Author: Tauras JM, Zhang Z, Taub CC.
    Journal: Echocardiography; 2011 May; 28(5):E106-7. PubMed ID: 21426395.
    Abstract:
    A young woman with a mechanical mitral valve and prosthetic mitral stenosis underwent multiple imaging modalities (including transthoracic ECHO, fluoroscopy, and two-dimensional transesophageal ECHO) to determine the cause of her stenosis. Only three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated the full size and extent of an obstructing mass on the strut and sewing ring of the prosthetic mitral valve.
