Planimetry measured by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE, MVA2D) is the reference method for the evaluation of the severity of mitral stenosis (MS) but requires experienced operators and good echocardiographic windows. Real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE, MVA3D) may overcome these limitations but its accuracy has never been evaluated.
