               Figure 6. Periprocedural three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography evaluation of mitral valve showing a pre-procedural
               severe functional mitral regurgitation with a holosystolic central jet and a consistent post-procedural reduction of the mitral
               regurgitation grade with the typical “double-orifice” valve
