Does epicardial echocardiography using transesophageal multiplanar ultrasound probes alter surgical planning in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement surgery?
Epicardial echocardiography during cardiac valve replacement surgery can provide critical new diagnostic information that directly alters surgical planning.
In this thesis, transesophageal multiplanar ultrasound probes are used to detect epicardial echocardiography during cardiac valve replacement surgery. We observed the heart structure and valve function, left ventricular systolic function, residual shunt, and other information. There were three patients in the ultrasound examination before cardiopulmonary bypass. This has new findings and supplements for preoperative diagnosis. So, we changed the surgical approach and surgical plan and increased the surgical content. Epicardial echocardiography is easy to operate and has a wide range of indications. It has particular clinical application value in cardiac surgery.
