Cost-effectiveness of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in cardiac valve surgery.
INTRODUCTION Being a unique diagnostic technique, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has influenced many different aspects of cardiac surgery including valve repair surgery. The cost-effectiveness of this method however is questioned considering the conditions of every region and country. In this study we aimed at answering the question if utilizing TEE throughout valve repair surgery could...
متن کاملImpact of Modified Transesophageal Echocardiography on Mortality and Stroke after Cardiac Surgery: A Large Cohort Study
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of perioperative screening with modified transesophageal echocardiography (A-View method). We compared, in consecutive patients who underwent cardiac surgery between 2006 and 2014, 30-day mortality and in-hospital stroke incidence, operated either with perioperative modified TEE screening (intervention group) or only with conventional TEE scre...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography-guided cardioversion after cardiac operations.
BACKGROUND Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is often performed during cardiac operations. The need to repeat TEE to exclude left atrial or left atrial appendage thrombus before direct current cardioversion (DCCV) in patients with a recent intraoperative TEE showing no thrombus is unclear. We sought to determine the incidence of and risk factors for new thrombus in patients undergoing TEE-...
متن کاملCardiac imaging of prosthetic valve dysfunction by transesophageal echocardiography
Prosthetic heart valve (PHV) replacement replaces a heart disease with another one. There is no ideal prosthetic heart valve. All of the prosthetic heart valves need to be followed by caution. PHV diseases (PHVD) includes a group of pathologic processes like prosthetic valve obstruction, thromboembolism and regurgitation. Correct diagnosis and treatment of these pathologic situations will decre...
متن کاملAortic valve homograft for revision surgery - transesophageal echocardiography considerations
Aortic root surgical anatomy and knowledge of the various homograft implantation techniques is of paramount importance to the attending anesthesiologist for echocardiographic correlation, estimation and accurately predicting aortic annular dimensions for the valve replacement in a case of diseased homograft.
