Multi-parametric evaluation of right ventricular function in peri-operative surgery for aortic valve replacement

Conclusion3D-TTE RV assessment is feasible in most of patients in the peri-operative of valvular surgery. The decrease in RV longitudinal function parameters after SAVR does not go with a decrease in RV global function. Prognostic evaluation of global function parameters such as 3DE-RVEF and ventriculo-arterial coupling in the peri-operative require further investigations.
