Impact of mitral geometry and global afterload on improvement of mitral regurgitation after trans-catheter aortic valve implantation

Objective: To assess the impact of mitral geometry, left ventricular (LV) remodelling and global LV afterload on mitral regurgitation (MR) after trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods: In this study, 60 patients who underwent TAVI were evaluated by 3D echocardiography at baseline,...
