Does transesophageal echocardiography improve the preoperative evaluation of patients with atrioventricular septal defect?
Transesophageal and Doppler echocardiography provide crucial hemodynamic and structural information for the preoperative evaluation and surgical planning of atrioventricular septal defects.
Smallhorn et al. (1991) conducted a review in Atrioventricular septal defect. Transesophageal and Doppler echocardiography was evaluated. Transesophageal and Doppler echocardiography provide crucial hemodynamic information for the preoperative evaluation of patients with atrioventricular septal defects.
