title: Incremental value of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography over the two-dimensional technique in percutaneous closure of aortic paraprosthetic regurgitation.
abstract: We describe 2 patients with significant aortic paraprosthetic regurgitation who underwent percutaneous closure where live/real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography provided incremental value over two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.
