Atrioventricular Valve Morphology and Dynamics in Congenital Heart Disease as Imaged with Real-time 3-Dimensional Matrix-array Echocardiography: Comparison with 2-Dimensional Imaging and Surgical Findings

Although RT3DE is still in its initial phase, has some technical limitations, and does not change the basic diagnosis made by 2D imaging, echocardiographic examination using the matrix-array transducer is a useful adjunct in delineating specific morphologic and dynamic details of the AVV in congenital heart disease.
