Intraoperative post-procedural TEE imaging. Real time 3D TEE “en face” image of the repaired AV view, seen from the aortic perspective, revealed the tricuspidized AV (a). Additional multi-planar cut (tomographic) images with different axes, rendered from 3D datasets of the AV, revealed preservation of both coronary ostia just below the sinotubular junction (b). Midesophageal AV short-axis image with color Doppler showed patency of the LM and the proximal RCA (arrows) (c). Pulsed-wave Doppler tracing demonstrated an intact flow pattern of the RCA (d) and the LM (e). Ao, aorta; AV, aortic valve; LA, left atrium; LM, left main coronary artery; LCC, left coronary cusp; LV, left ventricle; LVOT, LV outflow tract; NCC, non-coronary cusp; RA, right atrium; RCA, right coronary artery; RCC, right coronary cusp
