The electronic reproduction of a transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) 2D M-mode colour Doppler image of three cardiac cycles depicts severe mitral regurgitation in a female patient undergoing mitral valve repair. The image was originally captured (bottom panel) and electronically archived using an iE33 TEE platform (Philips North America, Andover, MA, USA).
