An accurate two-dimensional and three-dimensional echocardiographic (3DTEE) imaging is mandatory for the optimal procedural result. Recently transillumination 3DTEE rendering (3DTr) has been introduced integrating a virtual light source into the dataset and with the addition of glass effect (3DGl) allows to adjust tissue transparency improving depth perception and anatomical structure delineation in comparison with the standard 3DTEE (3DSt). The aim of this retrospective study in 30 patients undergoing MC, was to compare 3DSt, 3DTr, and 3DGl in mitral valve (MV) evaluation and procedural result assessment. 3DTEE acquisitions obtained before and after MC were processed with 3DSt, 3DTr, and 3DGl rendering. Each reconstruction was scored for quality and for ability to recognize MV anatomy, MR origin, clip position, dimension and grasping. Imaging quality was judged good or optimal in 52%, 76%, and 96% in 3DSt, 3DTr, and 3DGl reconstructions respectively. In 26\/30 patients a diagnostic incremental value was found with 3DTr vs. 3DSt and in 15\/26 with 3DGl vs. 3DTr and 3DSt. Only 3DGl with perpendicular cropping of the clip allowed to visualize and measure the grasped portion of each mitral leaflets. 3DTEE imaging during MC may be improved by 3DTr and 3DGl providing a better evaluation of MV, of leaflet grasping and of residual MR jets after MC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcdd8070073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,24]],"date-time":"2021-06-24T04:24:36Z","timestamp":1624508676000},"page":"73","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Head to Head Comparison between Different 3-Dimensional Echocardiographic Rendering Tools in the Imaging of Percutaneous Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2116-9644","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gloria","family":"Tamborini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valentina","family":"Mantegazza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Garlasch\u00e8","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manuela","family":"Muratori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0309-6231","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Fusini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Ghulam Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Cefal\u00f9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0109-5342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gianpiero","family":"Italiano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paola","family":"Gripari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Maltagliati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4040-6112","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Penso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2524-6288","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mauro","family":"Pepi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2844","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2015.10.018","article-title":"Randomized Comparison of Percutaneous Repair and Surgery for Mitral Regurgitation: 5-Year Results of EVEREST II","volume":"66","author":"Feldman","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
