| 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. (Echocardiography 2010;27:356‐358) |
