Figure 2 Flail posterior leaflet (transesophageal view) demonstrating proximal flow convergence with wall constraint because of the proximetry of the posterior wall. To adjust for the predictable overestimation due to this geometric distortion, regurgitant flow rate and orifica area are adjusted by  /180. LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle.
