AB  - Aortic  valve  replacement  (AVR)  is  the  most  common  valve  replacement  procedure  and  the  second  most  common  cardiac  operation  following  coronary  artery  bypass  grafting  (CABG)  in  the  United  States.  Intraoperative  transesophageal  echocardiography  (TEE)  alters  the  surgical  plan  in  13%  of  patients  undergoing  aortic  valve  surgery.1  Furthermore,  a  consensus  statement  from  the  American  College  of  Cardiology,  American  Heart  Association,  and  American  Society  of  Echocardiography  gave  intraoperative  TEE  a  class  I  designation  (“evidence  and/or  general  agreement  that  a  given  procedure  or  treatment  is  useful  and  effective”)  in  patients  undergoing  surgical  repair  of  valvular  lesions.2  Thus,  a  comprehensive  TEE  evaluation  of  the  aortic  valve  should  be  performed  in  all  patients,  particularly  those  undergoing  aortic  valve  procedures.
