Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in tumors of the heart.
Three-dimensional echocardiography was used to study 5 women, 4 with intracardiac tumors and 1 with a paracardial neoplasia. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was found to be a valuable way to define the morphologic and spatial characteristics of cardiac and paracardial tumors in vivo, establish their relationships with adjacent structures, and assess the hemodynamic effects they can produce.
