Fig. 1. Transthoracic (two-dimensional and three-dimensional) and two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography display of the endocarditic lesions, and surgical view of the right-sided vegetation. A: Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (parasternal long-axis view) showing an irregularly shaped vegetation rising from the root of the posterior mitral valve leaflet (arrows). B: Real-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (parasternal long-axis view) showing a huge vegetation attached to upper portion of the right side of the interventricular septum. The same vegetation displayed by two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (C: mid-esophageal right ventricular outflow view, transducer angle 77°; D: mid-esophageal long-axis right ventricular outflow view, transducer angle 119°; E: mid-esophageal right chambers view, transducer angle 0°). F and G: The left heart vegetative lesion displayed by two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (F: mid-esophageal four-chamber view, transducer angle 0°; G: mid-esophageal two-chamber, transducer angle 89°). H: Transesophageal two-dimensional color Doppler flow recording of the mitral regurgitation (mid-esophageal two-chamber, transducer angle 89°). I: Intraoperative surgeon's view (right infundibulotomy ventricular free wall approach) of the vegetation attached to the right side of the interventricular septum.
