Evaluación intraoperatoria ecocardiográfica durante durante la reparación valvular mitral

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been established as a basic tool during structural cardiac surgery. The main features of intraoperative TEE include: structural, focused on revising the structures to be repaired; systematic, since everything must be reviewed in an organized and consistent manner; functional, because the functional impact of the findings must be determined; operational, provide the reasons about what must be done to repair the problem; responsible, because the findings are checked immediately in the operating room; and committed, since the result of the surgery must be satisfactory.La ecocardiografia transesofagica intraoperatoria se ha convertido en herramienta escencial en cirugia estructural cardiaca.
