German term or phrase: Wasserprobe
This is taken from a medical report for a patient that has undergone annuloplasty. I'm not sure what Wasserprobe means in this context:

Implantation eines HKR. Prüfung der Klappenfunktion mittels der Wasserprobe.

water test
Explanation:
- Wasserprobe = operative water test

- Prüfung der Klappenfunktion = testing of the valve function


Operatives Techniques
Aortic Valve Repair Using Geometric Ring Annuloplasty

Unlike mitral repair, where an operative water test accurately estimates leaflet competence, the exact geometry of reconstructed aortic valve leaflets can be fully ascertained only after aortic unclamping and root pressurization. In up to 10% of cases, particularly those with more complex leaflet reconstruction, reclamping may be required after review of the transesophageal echocardiogram to perform minor repair adjustments following the principles outlined above. However, the incidence of reclamping tends to fall with increasing surgeon experience.
