Abstract
Cabrol's procedure represents an improvement on earlier surgical techniques used in the management of a patient with aortic insufficiency associated with an aneurysm of the ascending aorta. We report a patient in whom the diagnosis of complications after a Cabrol procedure was facilitated by transesophageal echocardiography. The role of transesophageal echocardiography in the follow-up of these patients is discussed.
