Key result
Intraoperative TEE effectively guides surgical tactics during the Ozaki procedure in bicuspid aortic valve disease.
Why the study?
Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is essential for assessing heart anatomy and function during reconstructive valve surgery, but its application during the Ozaki procedure is not well described.

Intraoperative TEE is a valuable imaging modality for guiding and evaluating the Ozaki procedure in patients with congenital bicuspid aortic valves.
Modern imaging techniques including various echocardiographic technologies have become firmly established in the practice of cardiac surgery. The method of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is of particular significance for ensuring the safety of patients during open heart surgery. This method is necessary for performing reconstructive interventions on the valve apparatus of the heart in patients with initial myocardial dysfunction to assess the anatomical and functional state of the heart and its structures at all stages of surgical treatment. Information obtained in the operation room using TEE allows the surgeon to choose the optimal tactics of surgical intervention, evaluate the results of surgery, and predict the course of early postoperative period. The presented clinical case demonstrates the capabilities of intraoperative use of TEE during the Ozaki procedure in a patient with congenital bicuspid aortic valve.

Sokol’skaya et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Congenital bicuspid aortic valve (n=1). Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was evaluated. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography during the Ozaki procedure in a patient with a congenital bicuspid aortic valve allowed for anatomical and functional assessment to guide surgical tactics.
