Highlights |
• | Intraoperative echocardiography is a useful tool in paediatric cardiac surgery. |
• | Intraoperative echocardiography is a safe tool for assessing residual lesions. |
• | Residual lesions can be detected and described. |
• | This permits some reinterventions during surgery. |
Abstract |
Background |
Paediatric transoesophageal echocardiography probes allow perioperative evaluation during paediatric congenital heart disease surgery.
Aim |
To assess the usefulness of perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography in evaluating the severity of residual lesions, based on the type of congenital heart disease repaired in paediatric patients.
Methods |
A retrospective analysis was conducted on paediatric patients who underwent open-heart surgery at our tertiary centre over a four-year period. Perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography studies were performed, and residual lesions were classified as mild, moderate or severe.
Results |
Overall, 323 procedures involving 310 patients with a median age of 13.8 (0.07–214.4) months and a median weight of 8.2 (2–96) kg at intervention were enrolled in the study. Twenty-one (6.5%) residual lesions led to immediate reintervention: severe right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (n=12); severe aortic regurgitation (n=3); superior vena cava stenosis (n=2); moderate residual ventricular septal defect (n=2); severe mitral regurgitation (n=1); and severe mitral stenosis (n=1). Three (0.9%) neonates had ventilation difficulties caused by the transoesophageal echocardiography probe having to be removed, but experienced no sequelae.
Conclusion |
Perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography is a safe procedure, providing information on severe residual lesions, leading to the immediate revision of several paediatric congenital heart disease cases.
