Real‐Time 3‐Dimensional Echocardiographic Assessment of Effective Regurgitant Orifice Area in Dogs With Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease [PDF]
Background Effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA), calculated from the vena contracta width (VCW) as the narrowest portion of the proximal regurgitant jet, might be used to estimate severity of mitral regurgitation. However, this simplified assumption

Impact of effective regurgitant orifice area on outcome of secondary mitral regurgitation transcatheter repair. [PDF]
Objectives!#!To assess the value of effective regurgitant orifice (ERO) in predicting outcome after edge-to-edge transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) for secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) and identify the optimal cut-off for patients' selection.!##

Comparison of effective regurgitant orifice area by the PISA method and tricuspid coaptation gap measurement to identify very severe tricuspid regurgitation and stratify mortality risk [PDF]
IntroductionVarious definitions of very severe (VS) tricuspid regurgitation (TR) have been proposed based on the effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) or tricuspid coaptation gap (TCG). Because of the inherent limitations associated with the EROA, we

Comparison of circular and elliptical geometric models with optimal two-dimensional imaging view for Doppler quantification of mitral regurgitant volume in older patients [PDF]
BackgroundDoppler volumetric quantification of mitral regurgitation (MR) depends on accurate stroke-volume estimation, but simplified assumptions regarding mitral annular area may introduce view-dependent error, particularly in older patients. This study

Percutaneous Removal of a Tricuspid Valve Vegetation Using the AngioVac System in a Young Woman Who Injects Drugs [PDF]
Right-sided infective endocarditis (RSIE) is a difficult clinical problem, particularly among people who inject drugs (PWID), in whom large tricuspid vegetations may be complicated by severe regurgitation and septic pulmonary embolization.

Predictive Utility of EROA/LVEDV Ratio in Mitraclip Outcomes: Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study [PDF]
Background: The effective regurgitant orifice area to left ventricular end-diastolic volume (EROA/LVEDV) ratio has been proposed to distinguish proportionate from disproportionate functional mitral regurgitation and to guide patient selection for ...
