Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in prosthetic valve infective endocarditis: incremental diagnostic value, outcome prediction and comparative assessment with native valve infective endocarditis.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to examine the incremental value of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) versus two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2DTEE) in the detection of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE), its prognostic value, and its peculiar diagnostic features compared to...
