The role of experience in echocardiographic identification of location and extent of mitral valve prolapse with 2D and 3D echocardiography [PDF]
Contradiction exists on the incremental value of two-dimensional (2D) and 3D transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) over 2D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for the detection of mitral valve (MV) prolapse in readers with different echocardiographic ...

Outcomes following repair of bileaflet prolapse due to myxomatous disease of the mitral valve
Myxomatous disease represents the most common cause of MR due to bileaflet prolapse. Mitral valve repair of mitral regurgitation (MR) due to bileaflet prolapse poses many technical challenges.
