Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the usefulness of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography(RT-3D-TEE)in cardiac valvular diseases.Methods Preoperative and postoperative RT-3D-TEE studies were performed in 32 patients who had undertaken cardiac valve repair or valvular replacement using Philips iE33 with X7-2 probe,and quantitative analysed the mitral structure in cases of mitral valve prolapse by using online QLAB7.0 quantitative analysis software.Results RT-3D-TEE can demonstrate the anatomicsl structure clearly,evaluate the function of cardiac valves precisely,and reveal details of type,position and extent of lesions vividly in surgical view.RT-3D-TEE helped correct misdiagnose in 2 cases,revised surgical plans in 3 cases,and guided implementation of remedial surgery in 1 case.Conclusions RT-3D-TEE can present images lively,and it can provide adequate information for preoperative diagnosis,aid the formulation of surgical plan and evaluate surgical effect.
