title: Value of live 3D transoesophageal echocardiography in the diagnosis of mitral valve lesions.
abstract: We experienced a case in which live 3D transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was found much more valuable than 2D TEE in assessing mitral lesions in circumferential direction and making surgical plans for mitral valve prolapse.
