About TEE Time: The Perioperative TEE Video Podcast (Anesthesia, Cardiology, Echocardiography, Sonography, Critical Care ICU)

TEE Time is the first-of-its-kind video podcast dedicated to the use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the perioperative setting. It is specifically designed for anesthesiologists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiac sonographers, emergency medicine providers, and cardiac ICU team members. Dr. Andreas Plackis is a triple board-certified, Vanderbilt-trained cardiac anesthesiologist and TEE enthusiast whose mission is to transform perioperative TEE education by delivering high-yield, concise video episodes packed with clinically relevant TEE tips and expert recommendations to elevate your practice. TEE Time episodes take a case-based approach, diving deep into how TEE is best utilized throughout the perioperative setting, including valve repair and replacement, temporary and durable mechanical support, aortic dissection, heart and lung transplants, structural heart interventions, rescue echo, non-cardiac surgery, and much more! If you want to enhance your TEE skills and improve patient care, subscribe now and join on this journey to mastering perioperative TEE!

   20. How to Evaluate Aortic Regurgitation using TEE - Part 1 of 2

   In Episode 20 of TEE Time, we launch the aortic valve series with Part 1 of 2 on evaluating chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), covering definitions, causes, pathophysiology, assessment goals, intervention indications, and a practical TEE view/sequence. AR (aortic insufficiency) causes inadequate forward output, LV volume/pressure overload, and potential dysfunction; acute AR (e.g., dissection, endocarditis, trauma) can rapidly raise LVEDP and cause pulmonary edema and reduced output, while chronic AR leads to eccentric hypertrophy and increased stroke volume. Mechanisms are organized by El Khoury Types I–III (normal, excessive, restricted cusp motion) with examples including STJ dilation/aneurysm, cusp perforation, prolapse/flail, rheumatic disease, and calcification. We review the 2020 AHA/ACC and selected 2025 European AVR/TAVI considerations and detail the five key TEE views for AR, including measurement tips, Doppler parameters, and holodiastolic flow reversal assessment. 00:00 Aortic Regurgitation Intro 00:50 Episode Roadmap 01:34 AR Basics and Impact 02:04 Primary vs Secondary Causes 03:42 Acute vs Chronic AR 05:13 Hemodynamic Management Tips 06:19 TEE Goals and Severity 07:16 Elkhoury Mechanism Classes 09:08 When to Replace the Valve 12:13 TEE Views and Exam Sequence 16:58 Key Takeaways and Next Episode #TEE #Echocardiography #Anesthesia #Cardiology #CriticalCare #EmergencyMedicine #Sonographer #CardiacSurgery #FOAMed #POCUS #Ultrasound #Anesthesiology #Perioperative #CardiacAnesthesia #AnesthesiaPodcast #Anesthesiology #Echo #Surgery #AdvancedTEE #PerioperativeTEE #TTE #Sonography #TEETime #TransesophagealEchocardiography #BasicPTE #AdvancedPTE #PTEeXAM #ICU DISCLAIMER: This podcast provides recommendations intended for educational purposes only and should not be used as the sole basis for making medical decisions.
