Figure 2 Systematic Interrogation of the MV With 2D TEE
(A) 4-chamber view obtained at 0° depicting A2 on the left and P2 on the right. (B) Bicommissural view obtained by electronically rotating the transducer tip to 55° showing P3 on the left, A2 in the middle, and P1 on the right. (C) 2-chamber view obtained by rotating the transducer to 90° to visualize P3 on the left and the 3 scallops of the anterior mitral valve leaflet on the right. (D) Long-axis view obtained by further rotating the transducer to 120° to view P2 on the left and A2 on the right. The left column correspond to MV images (as visualized from the left atrial perspective) obtained with the use of real-time 3D-TEE volume rendering. Red lines represent the approximate cut planes from which the respective 2D TEE images were obtained. Ao = aorta; Lat = lateral aspect of MV; Med = medial aspect of MV; MV = mitral valve; TEE = transesophageal echocardiography; other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
