Value of anatomical aortic valve area using real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography in patients with aortic stenosis: a comparison between tricuspid and bicuspid aortic valves

Conclusion
Aortic-valve morphology influenced the assessment of anatomical AVA in patients with AS, and 3D TEE is useful for assessing anatomical AVA regardless of aortic-valve morphology.
