Key result
Real-time 3D transesophageal echocardiography provided very good image quality in 92% of patients and demonstrated full morphological agreement with surgical findings in 87.5% of cases.
Why the study?
Does real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE) accurately assess morphology and hemodynamics compared to surgical findings in patients with mitral regurgitant lesions?
Observational (n=88)
No
Does real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE) accurately assess morphology and hemodynamics compared to surgical findings in patients with mitral regurgitant lesions?
Intraoperative real-time 3D TEE provides highly accurate morphological assessment of mitral regurgitant lesions with excellent agreement with surgical findings.
Supports intraoperative RT 3D TEE for mitral morphology; leaves open prospective validation of outcome impact.

Nečas et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Mitral regurgitant lesions (n=88). Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE) vs. Surgical findings was evaluated on Full agreement between RT 3D TEE morphological findings and surgical findings. Real-time 3D transesophageal echocardiography provided very good image quality in 92% of patients and demonstrated full morphological agreement with surgical findings in 87.5% of cases.
