Introduction
3D Echocardiography was introduced after the
year 2000.
Fully sampled matrix array transducers .
Live 3D, 3D Zoom and Full Volume modes.
Used to select and guide the most appropriate
intervention during BMV, MitralClip, TAVI…
3D Echocardiography applied in diagnosis of
cardiovascular disease at MEDIC HCMC since
January 2012.
Patients & Methods
-Pts with 3D TTE and 3D TEE at Medic HCM
since January 2012
-Instrument:
Phillip ie 33
3D TTE Probe 2 MHz and 3D TEE 5MHz Probe
-Techniques: 2D X plane, Live 3D, 3D Zoom,
Full Volume
- Case series report study
- Compare the diagnosis before and after
intervention or operation.

Advantages of 3D Echocardiography
Visualize the entire MV and associated structures
More reliable Planimetry of the mitral orifice by using
MPR.
Detection of complicated commissural fusion.
The 3 D dataset may be oriented to view the MV from
the surgeon view.
Leaflet mobility particularly well analyzed in the 3D Zoom
mode.
More sensible in detecting LA and LAA Thrombi.
Monitor and guide the catheter during BMV.

Method
Mitral Regurgitation
3D ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
Mechanism of MR.
Graduation: Vena Contracta, MR Volume (
PISA 2D, 3D ).
Detection of multiple Jets.
Location of lesion: segment I,II,III
Monitoring MitralClip procedure
Criteria for MitralClip : functional MR,
segment II, PML <10mm .
Guiding septal puncture and
MitralClip
