MITRAL VALVE RUPTURED CHORDS FESTIVAL
MITRAL VALVE RUPTURED CHORDS FESTIVAL
Several cases of mitral valve ruptured chords are seen in transthoracic 3D echo. No doubts, the resolution is much poorer than TEE, however the transducer price…The diagnosis is perfect but if repair is needed the 3D is necessary for further details. Since it is for teaching purpose I left the 2D image at the left so you can see the origin of the view (see the white arrow) this decrease the resolution due to the wide-angle of the scan, however, makes it clear from where the image was performed for you.
