Usefulness of transesophageal imaging of flow convergence region in the operating room for evaluating isolated patent ductus arteriosus

In summary, our flow convergence TEE method improved ductus identification and provides a (semi)quantitative analysis of ductus shunts and size, which may be helpful during transcatheter coil embolization in the catheterization laboratory during surgical transthoracoscopic ductal clipping or open st...

Description
Summary:In summary, our flow convergence TEE method improved ductus identification and provides a (semi)quantitative analysis of ductus shunts and size, which may be helpful during transcatheter coil embolization in the catheterization laboratory during surgical transthoracoscopic ductal clipping or open standard surgical ligation and/or division of PDA.
