Background Accurate preoperative assessment of the aortic annulus dimension is crucial for
successful transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). In this study we examined the …

Objectives Sizing of the aortic valve is crucial for transcatheter aortic valve replacement
(TAVR). Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is used for sizing. Recently, three …

Simple Summary Patients who have multiple associated comorbidities and need to change
the aortic valve may have a contraindication to open-heart surgery, the alternative being …

We sought to determine the level of agreement and the reproducibility of two-dimensional
(2D) transthoracic (2D-TTE), 2D transesophageal (2D-TEE) and real-time three-dimensional …

Background Aortic stenosis (AS) is a relevant common valve disorder. Severe AS and
symptoms and/or left ventricular dysfunction (EF< 50%) have the indication for aortic valve …

Background: Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is the gold standard in annulus
sizing before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, MDCT has limited …

Background The role of three‐dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3 DTEE) vs
multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in aortic annular sizing has been poorly …

Objectives: To compare aortic annulus diameters obtained by 3D transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE) with 2D‐TEE and the impact on prosthesis size selection in …

Objectives: We compared the annulus diameters measured by transthoracic
echocardiography (TTE), transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and dual‐source …

Aims Proper measurement of the aortic annulus (AoA) is crucial for the success of
transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the …
