Dr Bruce Cartwright: Intraoperative Echocardiographic Assessment During Mitral Valve Repair

This presentation by Dr. Bruce Cartwright explores the critical role of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in assessing and guiding mitral valve repair, highlighting key techniques for predicting potential complications such as systolic anterior motion and evaluating mitral regurgitation. The research synthesizes multiple references to demonstrate the importance of real-time echocardiographic assessment in optimizing surgical outcomes during complex cardiac procedures.

Dr Bruce Cartwright, Anaesthetist at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, discusses the use of echocardiography during mitral valve repair. Presentation delivered at the SHDA Mitral Valve Symposium 2015.
