Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is a valuable tool for evaluating the adequacy of surgical correction in tetralogy of Fallot.
The classical approach to evaluate the correction of the tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) consists in calculating the ratio between the right systolic and systemic pressure; however, with the advent of transesophageal echocardiography, new approaches have been developed. We shall present a case of a 15-year-old patient with TOF who underwent correction and the management was based on the intraoperative echocardiography. We will also address the role of the echocardiographic parameters in the evaluation of the correction of the TOF. La forma clásica de evaluación de la corrección de la tetralogía de Fallot (TDF) consiste en el cálculo de la relación entre las presiones sistólica ventricular derecha y sistémica. Sin embargo, el advenimiento del ecocardiograma transesofágico ha desarrollado nuevos enfoques al respecto. Presentaremos el caso de un paciente de 15 años con TDF el cual fue llevado a corrección, y cuyo manejo se basó en el ecocardiograma intraoperatorio. También discutiremos el papel de los parámetros ecocardiográficos en la evaluación de la corrección de la TDF.
