  We consider a non-self-adjoint $H$ given as the perturbation of a
self-adjoint operator $H_0$. We suppose that $H$ is of the form $H=H_0+CWC$
where $C$ is a bounded, positive definite and relatively compact with respect
to $H_0$, and $W$ is bounded. We suppose that $C(H_0-z)^{-1}C$ is uniformly
bounded in $z\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\mathbb{R}$. We define the regularized wave
operators associated to $H$ and $H_0$ by
$W_\pm(H,H_0):=\displaystyle\mathbb{s}-\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty} e^{\pm
itH}r_\mp(H)\Pi_\mathrm{p}(H^\star)^\perp e^{\mp itH_0}$ where
$\Pi_\mathrm{p}(H^\star)$ is the projection onto the direct sum of all the
generalized eigenspace associated to eigenvalue of $H^\star$ and $r_\mp$ is a
rational function that regularizes the `incoming/outgoing spectral
singularities' of $H$. We prove the existence and study the properties of the
regularized wave operators. In particular we show that they are asymptotically
complete if $H$ does not have any spectral singularity.
