Description
Summary:Intraoperative use of echocardiography is becoming more prevalent and is now considered an essential part of modern cardiac surgery. Echocardiography can be performed intraoperatively using transesophageal, epicardial or epiaortic, and substernal approaches. These techniques have a variety of applications in evaluating myocardial and valvular function, assessing aortic atheroma, and determining adequacy of various kinds of repair and reconstruction. Future applications will most likely involve more compact equipment, the implementation of epicardial and transesophageal real‐time three‐dimensional echocardiography, and better use of provocative methods of intraoperative testing.
