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.
