Effect of aortic regurgitant jet direction on mitral valve leaflet remodeling: a real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography study
Abstract Chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) induces mitral valve (MV) leaflet enlargement, although, its mechanism still remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the influence of AR jet directions on the MV apparatus in patients with chronic AR. This study included 69 consecutive patients with se...
