Left and right ventricular outflow tracts and aortic root on transesophageal echocardiogram

Imaging from the vertical (90º) plane demonstrates the left atrium (LA), mitral valve leaflets (MV), aortic root (AoR), left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT, panel A). In panel B, the transducer has been rotated slightly more anteriorly to display the aortic valve (AoV), proximal AoR, and right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Multiplane (134º) imaging (panel C) may allow for imaging of the LVOT, AoR, and ascending aorta in some patients.
