Supports TEE guidance in MitraClip; leaves open need for prospective validation of 3D superiority.
Guarracino et al. (2014) conducted a review in Severe mitral regurgitation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during MitraClip procedure was evaluated. Transesophageal echocardiography, particularly real-time 3-dimensional TEE, is mandatory to guide management and provide high-quality visualization during percutaneous MitraClip repair.
