The advantages of live/real ‐time three‐dimensional echocardiograhy in the assessment of left ventricular myxoma, which causes partial left ventricular outflow tract obstruction

We describe a young female patient with a giant left ventricular myxoma causing partial obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract, who underwent successful surgical resection. Real‐time three‐dimensional echocardiography yielded incremental value to two‐dimensional echocardiography by allowing better assess of the true size, extent, attachment, and morphology of the tumor. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
