Hypothesis-generating for live 3D TEE guidance in paravalvular leak closure; prospective trials needed before clinical adoption.
Live 3D TEE provides valuable real-time guidance for transseptal puncture and device deployment during percutaneous paravalvular leak closure.
Bavikati et al. (2008) studied this question. Live 3D transoesophageal echocardiography provides real-time guidance for transseptal puncture and device deployment during percutaneous closure of paravalvular leaks.
