Abstract
The level of safety in cardiac operating rooms is essential to provide the best care. Besides patientrelated factors, the outcome involves accurate diagnostic assessment, carrying out a safe surgical strategy, and high-quality team performance. A new approach in the operating room, applying TEE A-View for real-time assessment of the quality of the whole ascending aorta in combination with a short checklist, represents new opportunities for the cardiac surgeon to provide safer operations and better outcomes.
