Transcatheter MitraClip repair alters mitral annular geometry – device induced annular remodeling on three-dimensional echocardiography predicts therapeutic response

Abstract Background Echocardiography (echo) is widely used to guide therapeutic decision-making for patients being considered for MitraClip. Relative utility of two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) echo predictors of MitraClip response, and impact of MitraClip on mitral annular geometry, are uncerta...
