Participant Flow

The included patients were aged \> 18 years and underwent TAVR, mini-SAVR, and full-SAVR, or TAVR requiring intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) between April 2023 and April 2025 at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

Twenty-three (full-SAVR), 22 (mini-SAVR) and 24 (TAVR) patients were enrolled in the study. Two patients were excluded from the TAVR group owing to poor TEE image quality. Thus, there were 22 patients each in the TAVR and mini-SAVR groups and 23 patients in the full-SAVR group (a total of 67 patients)
