Key result
RT-3D TEE provides incremental value over 2D imaging for percutaneous aortic paravalvular leak closure.
Why the study?
Does live/real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography provide incremental value over two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in patients with significant aortic paraprosthetic regurgitation undergoing percutaneous closure?
Does live/real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography provide incremental value over two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in patients with significant aortic paraprosthetic regurgitation undergoing percutaneous closure?
3D TEE provides incremental value over 2D TEE for guiding percutaneous closure of aortic paraprosthetic regurgitation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May aid procedural guidance in select aortic paraprosthetic leak closures; leaves open confirmation of incremental benefit in larger studies.
We describe 2 patients with significant aortic paraprosthetic regurgitation who underwent percutaneous closure where live/real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography provided incremental value over two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.
