Tricuspid valve endocarditis: Cardiovascular imaging evaluation and management

Figure 3 Transesophageal echocardiography in native tricuspid valve endocarditis. A: Mid-esophageal modified short-axis view showing a large vegetation attached to the native tricuspid valve (arrow); B: 3D transesophageal echocardiography imaging showing the vegetation to arise from posterior tricuspid leaflet; C: 3D multi-planar reconstruction on the vegetation, confirming the location on the posterior leaflet (arrow); D: Transgatric view, showing multi-planar assessment of the vegetation. RA: Right atrium; RV: Right ventricle; LA: Left atrium; LV: Left ventricle; TV: Tricuspid valve.
