Three-Dimensional Echocardiographic Assessment of Lambl's Excrescences on the Aortic Valve.

The present case reports demonstrate the incremental value of three-dimensional echocardiography over multiplane transesophageal two-dimensional imaging in the assessment of Lambl's excrescences (strands) involving the aortic valve.

Transesophageal Echocardiographic Diagnosis of Coronary Stenosis in a Stroke Patient.

This study represents another example of the usefulness of transesophageal echocardiography in the assessment of stenosis involving the proximal, mid, and distal coronary arteries in stroke patients referred for exclusion of a cardiac source of embolism.

Transpharyngeal Echocardiographic Diagnosis of Carotid Bulb and Left Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis.

We report a patient in whom we were able to make an accurate diagnosis of left carotid bulb and left internal carotid artery stenosis by carefully and slowly withdrawing the probe from the esophagus into the pharynx.

Transesophageal Three-Dimensional Echo Assessment of Sinus Venosus Atrial Septal Defect.

The incremental value of three-dimensional echocardiography over transesophageal multiplane two-dimensional imaging in the assessment of sinus venosus atrial septal defect is demonstrated in the present study.
