ABSTRACT
To our knowledge, we report the first cases of successful three-dimensional reconstruction of the left common, internal, and external carotid arteries using color Doppler transpharyngeal echocardiography.

This preliminary study demonstrates the feasibility of examining the proximal segments of the branches of the left subclavian artery during probe withdrawal toward the end of a routine transesophageal echocardiographic study. The branches identified most commonly were the vertebral and the internal mammary arteries.
ABSTRACT
Three-dimensional echocardiographic findings in cor triatriatum sinister (sinistrum), cor triatriatum dexter, mitral supravalvular membrane, and atrial baffle are presented.
ABSTRACT
In the present study, we report our experience of using three-dimensional reconstruction of transesophageal two-dimensional echocardiographic images in the assessment of aortic dissection (22 patients), aortic rupture (1 patient), aortic aneurysm without dissection (2 patients), and aortic tumor (1 patient).
