Abstract:
This study described the first experience with 3-dimensional multiplanar reconstruction transesophageal echocardiography to guide percutaneous alcohol septal ablation. This study demonstrated that 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography multiplanar reconstruction allowed for simultaneous assessment of the targeted myocardial area from left ventricular base to apex, akin to imaging seen with spatial imaging with cardiac magnetic resonance. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
