<br/><br/> There are few published studies on the prediction of the annuloplasty ring size by echocardiography . These studies required dedicated software and relied on three - dimensional transesophageal echocardiography , or had limited accuracy . We sought to predict the size of annuloplasty ring using real - time three - dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (RT3DTTE) in patients undergoing standard mitral valve repair
