The aortic valve area can be calculated ... although cusp separation by M-mode echocardiography of 12 mm or greater suggests absence of critical stenosis. Heavy calcification reduces the accuracy ...

Two-dimensional echocardiography can demonstrate ... effective for aortic stenosis accompanied by significant calcification. Aortic valve debridement via surgery or ultrasound debridement is ...

This can be an important add-on to echocardiography in patients with a borderline need for intervention, researchers say.
