Vena contracta area measurement by three-dimensional echocardiography for assessing mitral regurgitation severity using a novel, fast, and reliable method
TEE is an invaluable method to decide the severity and mechanism of patients with MR, especially if TTE does not give adequate information. The method proposed in this study for evaluation of MR severity and mechanism using 3D TEE could be a helpful option, especially in the above-mentioned conditions. In this study, 3D direct planimetry had an acceptable correlation with 2DE MRVC and also with 3D MPR-derived VCA.
