ERDMENGER ORELLANA, Julio et al. Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) in the Operating Room as a Support Measure in the Evaluation of Immediate Surgical Results in Congenital Cardiopathies. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2004, vol.74, n.2, pp.126-130. ISSN 1665-1731.
The utilization of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a recent alternative in the control of procedures in the Cath Lab. In this paper we presents the results of a pilot study, in 10 patients submitted to total correction of its congenital heart disease, in who the analysis of the surgical results was done in base to the application of intracardiac echocardiography in operations room. In all the patients it was possible to obtain adequate images with ICE, there was a case false negative, a Total anomalous return Pulmonary Veins, in whom there not indentified a obstruction in right pulmonary veins flow. We conclude that ICE is a good alternative in the evaluation of surgical results.
