OBJECTIVES: This study sought to assess the use of real-time (RT) 3-dimensional (3D) transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the evaluation of post-operative mitral valve dehiscence.
BACKGROUND: Mitral valve replacement or repair may be complicated by post-operative dehiscence of the valve or annuloplasty ring resulting in clinically significant mitral regurgitation or hemolysis. Diagnosis is generally performed using 2-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography and TEE. Recently, an RT 3D TEE probe has been developed to produce high-quality real-time images.
METHODS: We used RT 3D TEE to evaluate mitral regurgitation after mitral valve repair or replacement as a result of mitral ring dehiscence. We studied the additional information and diagnostic utility provided by RT 3D TEE.
RESULTS: Eighteen patients were studied (8 patients after repair and 10 after replacement). Real-time 3D TEE allowed accurate evaluation of the pathology, including definition of the type of ring or prosthesis used; description of the site, size, shape, and area of the dehisced segment; and clear definition of the origin of the mitral regurgitation.
CONCLUSIONS: In mitral valve dehiscence, RT 3D TEE provides additional information about the exact anatomic characteristics of the dehiscence that can be used to help in planning the most appropriate corrective intervention.
