Utility of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography in improved assessment of a mitral valve papillary fibroelastoma.


ABSTRACT: Primary cardiac tumors are exceedingly rare. They are usually first identified by transthoracic echocardiography. However, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), with the aid of real-time three-dimensional (3D) imaging, can provide additional important mass characteristics. We present a case that demonstrates the usefulness of 3D TEE in characterizing a papillary fibroelastoma.
