Key result
Photo-realistic 3D rendering combined with 3D TEE improves mitral valve visualization during beating-heart repairs.
Why the study?
Use of photo-realistic 3D rendering techniques to enhance echocardiographic visualization during beating-heart mitral valve repair has recently been developed but requires evaluation.
Does a photo-realistic 3D rendering technique improve visualization during beating-heart mitral valve repair in patients with severe degenerative mitral valve regurgitation?
Population
Patients with severe degenerative mitral valve regurgitation from prolapsed or flail leaflets undergoing NeoChord procedure
Comparison
Photo-realistic 3D rendering technique with 3D transoesophageal echocardiography vs standard 3D echocardiography

May enhance mitral valve assessment in beating-heart repair; leaves open whether visualization gains improve outcomes.
Does a photo-realistic 3D rendering technique improve visualization during beating-heart mitral valve repair in patients with severe degenerative mitral valve regurgitation?
Photo-realistic 3D rendering techniques may enhance the visualization of anatomical details during microinvasive beating-heart mitral valve repair.
Vairo et al. (2019) studied Severe degenerative mitral valve regurgitation resulting from prolapsed or flail leaflets. Photo-realistic 3D rendering technique (Philips TrueVue) was evaluated on Visualization of morphological characteristics of the mitral valve. Photo-realistic 3D rendering techniques combined with 3D echocardiography improve the visualization of mitral valve morphological characteristics during beating-heart repair procedures.
