Incremental value of live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography over the two-dimensional technique in assessing carcinoid heart disease involving the aortic valve

We present a case of an adult with metastatic carcinoid heart disease, in whom live/real time three‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiography provided incremental value over two‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in assessing involvement of the aortic valve.
