Intraoperative echocardiography, including two-dimensional and Doppler methods, precisely guides cardiac surgery. This technique enhances operative anatomy definition, result evaluation, and left ventricular function monitoring in real-time.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Echocardiography

Background:

  • Intraoperative echocardiography is a developing technique in cardiac surgery.
  • It offers real-time assessment of cardiac anatomy and function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current applications of intraoperative echocardiography.
  • To discuss the benefits and limitations of epicardial and transesophageal echocardiography in cardiac surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on intraoperative echocardiography.
  • Analysis of two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography techniques.
  • Inclusion of both epicardial and transesophageal approaches.

Main Results:
