Does TEE accurately assess functional anatomy and predict valve repairability and postoperative outcomes in patients with aortic regurgitation?
TEE is a highly accurate tool for assessing aortic regurgitation anatomy and predicting surgical repairability and outcomes.
TEE provides a highly accurate anatomic assessment of all types of AR lesions. In addition, the functional anatomy of AR defined by TEE is strongly and independently predictive of valve repairability and postoperative outcome.
