Why the study?
Does RT3DTEE improve the accuracy of LAA orifice size assessment compared to 2DTEE in patients with and without atrial fibrillation?
Does RT3DTEE improve the accuracy of LAA orifice size assessment compared to 2DTEE in patients with and without atrial fibrillation?
RT3DTEE provides a more accurate assessment of LAA orifice size than 2DTEE, which is crucial for correct sizing of LAA closure devices, and reveals that LAA orifice area increases with AF frequency.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support RT3DTEE for LAA sizing in closure candidates; extends correlative data but leaves open outcome validation.
Nucifora et al. (2011) studied this question.
