Abstract
The present study demonstrates the accuracy and clinical feasibility of the assessment of the mitral valve geometry with three-dimensional TEE that is comparable to the MDCT measurements. Three-dimensional TEE and MDCT provide accurate and complementary information in the evaluation of patients with mitral valve disease. Its potential incremental clinical value in the field of transcatheter mitral repair procedures needs further assessment in the future studies.
