RESUMEN

We present a patient in whom we successfully reconstructed a long segment of the proximal left vertebral artery in three dimensions using color Doppler transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Three-dimensional (3-D) color Doppler TEE may complement two-dimensional (2-D) TEE by its ability to view cross sections of the left vertebral artery at any desired level from the 3-D data stored in the computer.
