Three-dimensional TTE comparing the appearance of a LAVV and a true mitral valve cleft. (A) A LAVV demonstrating the zone of apposition (asterisk) compared to (B) a true cleft of the AMVL, both demonstrated with rendered 3D imaging and (C) illustrates the greater degree of resolution that can be appreciated in the structures with True Vue imaging modality. The images are depicted in anatomical orientation from the ventricular aspect.
