Exemplary Patient: renewal of left ventricular torsion at the end of operation. Head view of the heart at the end of reconstruction surgery of the same exemplary patient, normal and slow motion of the same sequence. Cardiopulmonary bypass is off. Ventilation is temporarily off. The counterclockwise torsion movement towards the right ventricle is evident, marked by the displacement of the saphenous graft on left anterior descending artery.

Exemplary Patient: late full volume echocardiography. Simultaneous display of nine short axis views generated from an apical full volume acquisition with 4D mode (Vivid 7, GE Medical Systems, Norway) of the exemplary patient 19 months after the operation. Apical rotation is evident towards the right ventricle.
