Does a high-frequency epicardial ultrasound probe facilitate the identification of embedded coronary arteries during cardiac revascularization?
A high-frequency epicardial ultrasound probe is a readily available and effective tool for identifying embedded coronary arteries during cardiac revascularization on cardiopulmonary bypass.
Setty et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Embedded coronary arteries during cardiac revascularization (n=2). High-frequency epicardial ultrasound probe was evaluated on Identification of embedded coronary arteries. A high-frequency epicardial ultrasound probe successfully facilitated the intraoperative identification of embedded coronary arteries in two patients undergoing cardiac revascularization.
