When the univariate functional parameter “basal aneurysm/dyskinesis” (OR, 42.00; 95% CI, 4.35–405.13; P= .001) was added to the geometric 3DE analysis, multivariate analysis revealed preoperative P3TA (OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.07–1.45; P= .005) and basal aneurysm/dyskinesis (OR, 16.47; 95% CI, 1.34–202.74; P= .029) as independent predictors of IMR recurrence.
