MitrAl Valve Calcium aSsEssmEnt With TrueVue Trans-illumination 3D Rendering. (MAC-SEE)

16. september 2026 oppdatert av: Centro Cardiologico Monzino

MitrAl Valve Calcium aSsEssmEnt With TrueVue Trans-illumination 3D Rendering (MAC SEE).

The study of calcifications involving the mitral valve is extremely important for the planning of both surgical and percutaneous procedures. Computed tomography (CT) is the non-invasive imaging modality considered the gold standard for the assessment of mitral valve calcifications, thanks to its high spatial resolution and the strong X-ray attenuation of calcium deposits.

Echocardiography has traditionally played a limited role in the evaluation of mitral valve calcifications, particularly with three-dimensional imaging. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic rendering with TrueVue transillumination (Philips Medical Systems, Eindhoven, NL) can provide additional information on the location and extent of calcium on the mitral valve by allowing the placement of a virtual light source beneath the mitral valve.

Specifically, the TrueVue system is an advanced software module integrated into Philips echographic equipment that uses data acquired by the transesophageal probe to generate photorealistic images of the heart.

Therefore, the ability to evaluate the position and extent of calcifications through transesophageal echocardiography may represent an important step forward for echocardiographic imaging.

Studiepopulasjon

The study plans to analyze data from a total of 100 patients (approximately 50% retrospective and 50% prospective) who have already undergone, or are scheduled to undergo, a contrast-enhanced CT scan and a transesophageal echocardiogram, according to routine clinical practice and for any clinical indication related to their underlying condition.

Gruppe / Kohort
Prospective Cohort

In the prospective part of the study, adult patients who, for any clinical indication and as part of routine clinical care, are scheduled to undergo both contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) will be consecutively enrolled.

As this is an observational study, participants will not undergo any additional diagnostic procedures or receive any additional treatments beyond standard clinical practice. Data will be collected from examinations performed according to routine care.
Retrospective Cohort

In the retrospective part of the study, clinical and imaging data will be collected from adult patients who have already undergone both contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) as part of routine clinical care. Eligible examinations performed between February 2025 and September 2025 will be reviewed.

Only patients with complete data required for the study analyses will be included. No additional procedures or interventions will be performed, as the study is observational and based exclusively on existing clinical records.
