Abstract:PurposeThere is currently limited information on the utility of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)‐derived Doppler parameters for assessing bioprosthetic tricuspid valve (BTV) dysfunction. Our study aimed to establish the precision and appropriate reference ranges for routinely collected transthoracic Doppler parameters in the assessment of BTV dysfunction.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated 100 BTV patients who underwent TTE. Based on redo surgical confirmation or more than 2 repeat TTE or transesophageal e… Show more
