Key result
Real-time 3D transesophageal echocardiography provides accurate quantification of mitral valve geometry and is essential for guiding transcatheter mitral valve repair procedures.
Why the study?
Edge-to-edge TMVr using MitraClip is evolving rapidly for severe MR at high surgical risk, highlighting the need to summarize current knowledge and future perspectives on 3D TEE.
3D transesophageal echocardiography is an essential imaging modality for the pre-procedural evaluation and intra-procedural guidance of transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.

3D TEE refines MV assessment and guidance for high-risk TMVr; leaves open standardized protocols and outcome impact in prospective trials.
Hirasawa et al. (2022) conducted a review in Severe mitral regurgitation. 3D Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) vs. 2D Transesophageal Echocardiography was evaluated. Real-time 3D transesophageal echocardiography provides accurate quantification of mitral valve geometry and is essential for guiding transcatheter mitral valve repair procedures.
