Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The development of paediatric transoesophageal ultrasound imaging represents an important advance in the diagnosis and management of the patient with congenital heart disease. Although primary diagnostic transoesophageal studies are seldom indicated in infants and unoperated children, they have an important role in the older child, especially where there has been prior cardiac surgery. Diagnostic studies are most appropriate for abnormalities of venous return, the atria, atrioventricular valves and the left ventricular outflow tract. Two other important areas in which transoesophageal imaging is playing an increasing role in the management of the paediatric patient is in monitoring of surgical repair. |
