Correcting the tetralogy of Fallot: The role of the transesophageal intraoperative echocardiography
Keywords:
Echocardiography, Tetralogy of Fallot, Perioperative period, Anesthesia
Abstract
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.
