Why the study?

Does intraoperative 3D TEE accurately identify the location of individual scallop/segment prolapse compared to surgical findings in adult patients with mitral valve prolapse?

Population

36 adult patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) undergoing surgical correction

Comparison

Intraoperative three-dimensional transesophageal… vs Intraoperative surgical findings

Design

Cross-sectional
