Abstract

Percutaneous mitral valve repair is a sophisticated procedure which requires a unique collaboration between the interventionalist and echocardiographer since it is mainly driven by real-time transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Fluoroscopy plays a lesser role. We will review the role of echocardiography during the different procedural steps and the additional value of three-dimensional (3D TEE).
