Transoesophageal echocardiography, including both 2D and 3D approaches, provides comprehensive perioperative assessment and visualization of mitral valve regurgitation pathology.
This review highlights the critical role and advantages of combining 2D and 3D transoesophageal echocardiography for the comprehensive perioperative assessment of mitral valve regurgitation.

May support transoesophageal echocardiography for intraoperative mitral regurgitation assessment; leaves open prospective validation of three-dimensional techniques.
Cardiac ultrasound allows comprehensive analysis of the complex structure of the mitral valve. Transoesophageal echocardiography is the preferred diagnostic and monitoring technique both in the intraoperative phase and in the immediate postoperative phase. Besides two-dimensional imaging, the 3D approach offers clear advantages in visualizing different aspects of pathology and facilitating interpretation of pathophysiological features. This review comprehensively summarizes anatomical and physiological characteristics, the value of 2D imaging in diagnosis and follow-up and the supplementary significance of 3D echocardiography.

Poelaert et al. (2016) conducted a review in Mitral valve regurgitation. Perioperative echocardiographic assessment (2D and 3D) was evaluated. Transoesophageal echocardiography, including both 2D and 3D approaches, provides comprehensive perioperative assessment and visualization of mitral valve regurgitation pathology.
