Aims: Mitral valve prolapse is a common source of severe mitral regurgitation in Western
countries. Three-dimensional echocardiography can provide views of the entire valve …

In this report, we present 34 patients in whom surgical intervention was undertaken for
severe mitral insufficiency due to mitral valve prolapse (MVP). Location and severity of MVP …

Summary 3D echocardiography has become the echocardiographic modality of choice for
establishing the diagnosis, describing the precise anatomy, and visualization of mitral …

Background: An essential step in the surgical management of patients with mitral
regurgitation, is a thorough understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism. This …

Methods Forty-six patients (mean age 67+/-11 years) underwent 3D TEE intraoperatively.
Measurements were made of the posterior part of mitral annulus circumference (PMAC), and …

We evaluated the potential usefulness of three‐dimensional (3D) transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE) in assessing individual scallop/segment prolapse in 36 adult …

Background Segmental analysis in mitral prolapse is important to decide the chances of
valvular repair. Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the only …

BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is more
accurate than two-dimensional (2D) TEE in the qualitative assessment of mitral valve (MV) …

Objectives: The aim of this study, undertaken in patients who underwent mitral valve (MV)
repair surgery, was to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of 3-dimensional (3D) …

Background: Noninvasive and accurate assessment of mitral valve anatomy has become
integral in the presurgical evaluation of patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP). Recently …
