Live 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography initial experience using the fully-sampled matrix array probe.
Objectives: Our study goals were to evaluate the 3-dimensional matrix array transesophageal echocardiographic (3D-MTEE) probe by assessing the image quality of native valves and other intracardiac structures. Background: Because 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography with gated rotational ac...

Background: Because 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography with gated rotational acquisition is not used routinely as the result of artifacts, lengthy acquisition, and processing, a 3D-MTEE probe was developed (Philips Medical Systems, Andover, Massachusetts). Methods: In 211 patients, 3D-MTEE zoom images of the mitral valve (MV), aortic valve, tricuspid valve, interatrial septum, and left atrial appendage were obtained, followed by a left ventricular wide-angled acquisition. Images were reviewed and graded off-line (Xcelera with QLAB software, Philips Medical Systems). Results: Excellent visualization of the MV (85% to 91% for all scallops of both MV leaflets), interatrial septum (84%), left atrial appendage (86%), and left ventricle (77%) was observed. Native aortic and tricuspid valves were optimally visualized only in 18% and 11% of patients, respectively. Conclusions: The use of 3D-MTEE imaging, which is feasible in most patients, provides superb imaging of native MVs, which makes this modality an excellent choice for MV surgical planning and guidance of percutaneous interventions. Optimal aortic and tricuspid valve imaging will depend on further technological developments. Fast acquisition and immediate online display will facilitate wider acceptance and routine use in clinical practice. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
