Accuracy and Reliability of Left Atrial Appendage Morphology Assessment by Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiographic Glass Rendering Modality: A Comparative Study With Computed Tomography

Contrast-enhanced computed tomography is the reference-standard imaging technique to assess left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of two-dimensional and new three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiographic rendering modalities in assessing LAA morphology.
