Measurement of the shortest distance (yellow line) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (red line) of the LLR and the carina. Upper panel: Measurement of LLR width between the LSPV and the LAA from CCT (3a left) and from 3DTOE (3b right) images. Lower panel: Measurement of carina width between the RSPV and the RIPV from CCT (3c left) and from 3DTOE (3d right) images. LLR (Left lateral ridge), LSPV (Left superior PV), LIPV (Left inferior PV), LAA (Left atrial appendage), CCT (Cardiac computed tomography), 3DTOE (Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography), RSPV (Right superior PV), RIPV (Right inferior PV)
