Fig 3 Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography. (A) Mitral annulus was dilated (25 mm/m2) and (B) severe functional mitral regurgitation was present. Mitral valve coaptation depth was 13 mm. This patient underwent mitral valve repair. (C) Despite reduction annuloplasty (16 mm/m2), moderate functional mitral regurgitation persisted. The patient had a successful mitral valve replacement.
