Mitral valve annulus assessment: a comparison between 3D-TOE, CCT and surgical ring
Anno:
2025
BACKGROUND:  The success of mitral valve repair with annuloplasty depends on the repair technique and the correct sizing of the mitral annulus ring. Three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D-TOE) has been proven to be essential for the anatomo-functional characterization of mitral valve apparatus in patients undergoing surgically mitral valve repair. It…
