Tricuspid Annular Velocity in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Operation Using Transesophageal Echocardiography

Determination of TAV using the transgastric RV inflow view is feasible and may provide quantitative information on systolic RV function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft. We found a decrease in systolic TAV after cardiopulmonary bypass without a significant change in stroke volume index.
