Summary
Transient hypotension is crucial for precise endovascular device deployment. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guided right atrial inflow occlusion, a safe method for achieving this during thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR).
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Medical Imaging
- Anesthesiology
Background:
- Endovascular devices are vital for vascular repair.
- Precise deployment requires transient hypotension to counteract high aortic pressure.
- Right atrial inflow occlusion is a known method for inducing hypotension.
