title: Depicting of a cleft mitral valve by real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.
abstract: We report the usefulness of real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in comprehensive delineation of cleft mitral valve. This new technique may be a useful supplement to two-dimensional and three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in the assessment of this pathology.
