Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (IOTEE) is an invaluable diagnostic method for management of cardiac surgical patients, including patients undergoing valve replacement surgery. We report a patient who underwent reoperation for mitral valve replacement due to intravalvular regurgitation following mitral valve replacement with a bioprosthetic valve. The condition was detected by IOTEE and caused by suture entrapment.
术中经食管超声心动图(IOTEE)是管理心脏外科手术患者(包括接受瓣膜置换手术的患者)的一种极其重要的诊断方法。我们报告了一例患者,该患者在使用生物瓣进行二尖瓣置换术后因瓣内反流而接受二尖瓣置换再次手术。这种情况通过术中经食管超声心动图检测到,是由缝线卡压所致。
