Abstract

Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography and 4-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging as complementary techniques in the preoperative planning of a mitral paravalvular leak allow the evaluation of its location, shape, and size and qualitative-quantitative analysis of mitral regurgitant orifice. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
