Abstract
We find that IOE immediately after MVRr tends to underestimate MVA by PHT calculation. The underestimation by IOE may have clinical importance in cases when MVA by IOE is moderately reduced. Therefore, pressure half-time measurement should not be used to assess mitral valve areas during mitral valve repair.
