Purpose:
Although only limited scientific evidence exists promoting the use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in non cardiac surgery, several recent studies have documented its usefulness during liver surgery.
Methods And Results:
In the present case study, through the use of color Doppler TEE, compression of the inferior vena cava and the right hepatic vein was clearly evident, as was their restoration after surgery.
Conclusion:
TEE should be encouraged in patients undergoing liver resection, not only for hemodynamic monitoring, but also for its ability to provide information about the anatomy of the liver, its vessels, and inferior vena cava patency.
