Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the value and accuracy of multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) of three-dimensional (3D) transthoracic echocardiographic data sets in assessing mitral valve pathology in patients with surgical mitral valve prolapse (MVP). METHODS: Sixty-four patients with surgical MVP and preoperative two-dimensional (2D) and 3D transthoracic echocardiography were analyzed. The descriptions obtained by 3D MPR and 2D were compared in the context of the surgical findings. RESULTS: Two-dimensional echocardiography correctly identified the prolapsing leaflets in 32 of 64 patients and 3D MPR in 46 of 64 patients (P=.016). Among the 27 patients with complex pathology (ie, more than isolated middle scallop of the posterior leaflet prolapse), 3D MPR identified 20 correctly, as opposed to 6 with 2D imaging (P<.001). CONCLUSION: Interpretation of 3D transthoracic echocardiographic images with MPR improved the accuracy of the description of the MVP compared with 2D interpretation. This added value of 3D MPR was most important in extensive and/or commissural prolapse.
