“…Seliem et al [7] studied 41 patients with atrioventricular valve abnormalities (10 with TV disease, and 5 with a common atrioventricular valve) and found that 3DE imaging was helpful in delineating the morphology of the valve leaflets and their chordal attachments, the subchordal apparatus, the mechanism and origin of regurgitation, and the geometry of the regurgitant jet. In 26 TVs, Takahashi et al [8•] found that, in comparison with 2DE, 3DE improved the detection of leaflet abnormalities, particularly the prolapse of the anterior and posterior leaflets, and commissural pathology.…”

Tricuspid valve (TV) disease commonly occurs in combination with left-sided heart disease. Despite the growing enthusiasm for developing novel minimally invasive therapies for the mitral or aortic valve, the TV disease formerly received less attention and was frequently left untreated. Strong evidence has increased the awareness of the impact of severe TV regurgitation on patient survival, functional capacity, and surgical risk. Preoperative TV accurate description is challenging because, unlike left-sided valves, a complete visualization of tricuspid annulus and all three leaflets in one view is routinely impossible by two-dimensional transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography. Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) with its unrestricted imaging capabilities has sparked significant research interest for a better understanding and improved treatment of valvular heart disease. This review summarizes the current status of 3DE for the assessment of TV morphology and function, with its clinical applications and current limitations, as well as its potential implications for designing TV repair techniques.

“…In a congenital population, Seliem et al [11] showed that although 3D-TTE did not change the original diagnosis in 41 patients with AV valve abnormalities that were imaged with conventional 2DE, it did allow for better delineation of the morphology of the valve leaflets and structural abnormalities, as well as the mechanism of regurgitation. Cleft mitral valve can be difficult to image with conventional 2D echocardiography due to the nonplanar relationship between the leaflets and annulus (Fig.…”

Advances in transducer technology have made three-dimensional echocardiography feasible for routine use in the echocardiographic assessment of cardiovascular disease. Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) has potential to be especially useful in the evaluation of patients with congenital heart disease, by providing a detailed assessment of complex morphologic abnormalities and the spatial relationships of intracardiac structures. In patients with congenital heart disease, the ability to accurately assess cardiac chamber volumes and ejection fraction is important for determining the timing of intervention. In this article, we review the published literature on the use of 3DE in the assessment of morphology, chamber volume, and function in patients with congenital heart disease, as well as the use of RT3DE to guide interventional procedures.

“…Rawlins et al [ 20 ] demonstrated the additive value of 3DE and improved image quality using intraoperative epicardial 3DE to delineate the anatomy of atrioventricular valves. Seliem et al [ 21 ] studied 41 patients with AV valve abnormalities and found that 3DE imaging was helpful in delineating valve leafl et morphology, chordal attachments, the subchordal apparatus, the mechanism and origin of regurgitation, and the geometry of the regurgitant volume. Vettukattil et al [ 22 ] showed that in patients with Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve, 3DE provided clear visualization of the morphology of the valve leafl ets, including the extent of their formation, the level of their attachment, and their degree of coaptation.…”
