Previous studies have found that standard echocardiographic measures of right ventricular (RV) function were impaired after surgical replacement of the aortic valve (SAVR), but not after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We used 3D echocardiography to gain further insight into the changes of RV performance in patient undergoing SAVR or TAVI.
