Does two-dimensional color-Doppler flow-imaging accurately detect, localize, and quantify bioprosthetic mitral valve regurgitation in an in vitro model?
In an in vitro model, 2D color-Doppler flow-imaging accurately detects and localizes bioprosthetic mitral valve regurgitation, with jet area correlating strongly with regurgitant volume.
