Key result
Real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography simplified procedural steps and has the potential to increase the safety and efficacy of percutaneous mitral valve repair.
Why the study?
Does real-time 3D-TEE improve procedural guidance during percutaneous mitral valve repair using the edge-to-edge clip technique?

Does real-time 3D-TEE improve procedural guidance during percutaneous mitral valve repair using the edge-to-edge clip technique?
Real-time 3D-TEE provides excellent visualization that simplifies key steps of percutaneous mitral valve repair using the edge-to-edge clip technique.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May simplify edge-to-edge repair guidance in select cases; leaves open randomized confirmation of safety gains.
Swaans et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Mitral regurgitation (n=1). Real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) was evaluated on Procedural guidance (transseptal puncture, positioning, grasping, evaluation). Real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography simplified procedural steps and has the potential to increase the safety and efficacy of percutaneous mitral valve repair.
