Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Area After Percutaneous Transseptal Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implantation; A Three-dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography Study
Abstract:Background: Left ventricular (LV) outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction
increases mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve
implantation (TMVI) in degenerated bioprostheses, annuloplasty rings,
and native mitral valves. We aimed to evaluate the left ventricular
outflow tract area after TMVI using 3-diensional (3D) transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE) and to investigate the pre-procedural cardiac
geometry affects the LVOT area after TMVI. Methods: We retrospectively
reviewed echocardiography data… Show more
