Fig. 4From: 3D vena contracta area after MitraClip© procedure: precise quantification of residual mitral regurgitation and identification of prognostic informationFunctional success of PMVR is more pronounced, when vena contracta area is less reduced then the median of the study sample. n = 29. Median VCAr = 0.1868. Turkey boxplot with + marking the mean. *p < 0.05. VCAr = ratio of vena contracta area immediately after PMVR / before PMVR. 6 MWc = six-minute walk distance after PMVR – before PMVR. PMVR: percutaneous mitral valve repairBack to article page
