摘要：

We report a case of an elderly patient in whom live/real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) provided definitive diagnosis of mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa abscess. This could not be done by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2DTTE) and two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2DTEE). 3DTEE was also helpful in ruling out associated mitral valve endocarditis, which was initially suspected by 2DTEE leading to a mitral valve sparing surgery. Thus, 3DTEE provided incremental information over 2DTTE and 2DTEE in this patient. (Echocardiography 2012;29:742-744)
