An intraoperative echocardiographic evaluation to determine the feasibility and adequacy of the valve repair procedure is crucial for a successful repair. However, aortic valve repair in severe aortic stenosis (AS) is very limited and, consequently, its intraoperative echocardiographic evaluation has not been described well. Here, we describe an intraoperative transesophageal echocardiographic evaluation of a double‐valve repair procedure for a patient with severe AS, moderate aortic insufficiency, and severe mitral stenosis.
