case_images: (A) An end-systolic mid esophageal 4-chamber view frame showing the markedly dilated right atria (RA) and ventricle (RV). The left atria (LA) and left ventricle (LV) are also seen in this picture. (B) An end-diastolic mid esophageal 4-chamber view frame showing the markedly dilated right atria (RA) and ventricle (RV). The left atria (LA) and left ventricle (LV) are also seen in this picture.

case_images: A repeated TEE demonstrated marked dilatation of the right-sided chambers with severe reduction in right ventricular systolic function (Figure 1) and severe tricuspid regurgitation as a result of an incomplete coaptation of the tricuspid valve leaflets (Figure 2).
case_images: (A) An end-systolic mid esophageal 4-chamber view frame at 35 degrees shows the significant amount of tricuspid regurgitation with a large vena contracta width (VCW) as seen by the white dotted lines. (B) Close-up view at 67 degrees showing the severe degree of tricuspid regurgitation not only by color Doppler but by the large vena contracta width (VCW), as seen by the white dotted lines.
