About

The goal of this observational study is to assess the impact of imaging modality (trans-thoracic echo (TTE) vs trans-esophageal echo (TEE)), anesthesia and positive pressure ventilation on the grading of aortic insufficiency.

Patients scheduled for cardiac surgery and in whom a TEE is going to be performed intra-operatively will be enrolled. The grading of the aortic insufficiency will be compared between a TTE performed immediately before the induction of general anesthesia end the TEE performed after induction of general anesthesia.

Enrollment: 100 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Known aortic regurgitation of any grade
• Scheduled for a cardiac surgery procedure during which a trans-esophageal echo is planned.

Exclusion criteria

• Non sinus rhythm
• Mitral regurgitation more than mild.
• Pre-operative critical state (according to the definition of the EuroSCORE II)
• Presence of a prosthetic aortic valve
• Contra-indication to trans-esophageal echo

Trial design

100 participants in 1 patient group

Adult patients scheduled for cardiac surgery with previously known aortic regurgitation of any grade
