findings. With more than 800 images that detail the technique of performing these studies and demonstrate various cardiovascular pathologies, as well as a DVD containing more than 350 moving images, it is a valuable compendium for both novice and experienced practitioners.

The book opens with chapters on the history of 3D echocardiography and basic and technical aspects of live/real time 3D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograpy, then considers:

It concludes with coverage of some of the most recent advances in 3D technology, real time full-volume imaging, and 3D wall tracking, including 3D assessment of strain, strain rate, twist, and torsion.

Vividly demonstrating the superiority of 3D echocardiography over conventional 2D imaging in several clinical situations, this carefully produced volume shows how to use the most recent technology for better assessment of cardiovascular disease.

This book presents a series of over 50 cases in 3Dtransesophageal echocardiography. In each case, background information isfollowed by a step-by-step approach to patient diagnosis and postoperativeoutcomes. The book’s most outstanding highlight consists in over 600illustrations, which mainly focus on 3D transesophageal echocardiography incombination with 2D transesophageal echocardiography, X-ray fluoroscopy andcomputed tomography to demonstrate the various cardiovascular pathologies.Since the echo images obtained in clinic practice are moving images, it alsoincludes more than 450 videos, which effectively supplement the staticillustrations.

The atlas is divided into 11 chapters. Chapters 1 through 3describe abnormalities affecting mitral, aortic, tricuspid and pulmonaryvalves, while prosthetic valves are discussed in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 detailsabnormalities of the aorta. Chapters 6-8 examine coronary artery disease,congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathies, while Chapter 9 explores casesof infective endocarditis. Chapter 10 deals with tumor and mass lesions, andthe other cases are collectively addressed in Chapter 11. Offering a valuablenew resource, the book will enhance the usefulness of echocardiography duringoperations as a “third eye” for surgeons.

This book introduces classic and unique cases in 3D TEE in structural heart disease interventions. In each all the 40 cases, background information, clinical presentations, and diagnostic findings are present and followed by step-by-step approaches of interventional therapies and outcomes after the procedures. The highlight of the book is to utilize extensive illustrations, over 500, to demonstrate various cardiovascular pathologies. Most of the figures are 3D transesophageal echocardiograms, they are cooperated with 2D transesophageal echocardiograms, X rays, fluoroscopies, computed tomograms, etc.  Since the echo images obtained in clinic practice are moving images, it also includes over 300 videos, which serve as a supplement to the static illustrations in this book.

The atlas is organized into five chapters. In Chapters one, cases received closure of congenital and acquired cardiac defects are described. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation and its complicationsare discussed in Chapter two and three. Chapter four details the valve-in-valve therapy. Chapter five covers MitraClip therapy. It offers readers an insider’s view of 3D transesophageal echocardiography in structural heart disease interventions and to refresh their clinical work.

In this second edition, authors add 3-5 new cases at each chapter. Now new technology in 3D TEE rendering technology such as TruVue, a kind of post processing techniques, is also included.

Offering a valuable new resource, the book will enhance the usefulness of echocardiography during operations as a “third eye” for surgeons. With the advances in technology, clinicians are using three‐dimensional (3D) transoesophageal echocardiographic imaging is crucial for device selection during the procedure and to assess the functional result after procedure.
