Aortic Stenosis, Development of Standardized Assessment TAVI and MitraClip Procedures by Echocardiography, Mitral Valve Insufficiency
Conditions
Brief summary
Aim of the study is the definition of criteria for a standardized assessment of heart function by 3D echocardiographic procedures. Standardized criteria will be defined to assess aortic valve insufficiency after TAVI and success of mitral valve replacement respectively.
