Three-dimensional echocardiographic planimetry of maximal regurgitant orifice area in myxomatous mitral regurgitation: intraoperative comparison with proximal flow convergence

Objectives. We sought to validate direct planimetry of mitral regurgitant orifice area from three-dimensional echocardiographic reconstructions. Background. Regurgitant orifice area (ROA) is an important measure of the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR) that up to now has been calculated from hem...
