investigated 49 patients that were planned to undergo TAVR with TEE and cine steady-state free precession (SSFP) CMR and found a moderate correlation of both methods ( r 2 : 0.58) regarding aortic annulus size and CMR showed a significant trend to overestimation (TEE 21.4 ± 1.9 mm CMR: 23.7 ± 2.2 mm) [ 22 ].
