Intraoperative Transeophageal Echocardiography to Diagnose an Anomalous Circumflex Artery

Abstract: We describe a 43-year-old male presenting for hemiarch replacement and possible aortic valve replacement. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) demonstrated an atypical coronary vessel, enabling proper diagnosis of an anomalous circumflex artery and appropriate operative planning.

“…9,10 Since then, it has been used to diagnose anomalous origins, [11][12][13] detect coronary artery obstruction during difficult weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), 14,15 and to develop a surgical strategy in the presence of ostial lesions. 16,17 However, to the best of our knowledge there are no reports in the literature documenting routine intraoperative TEE assessment of coronary arteries with a specific focus on safety in SAVR. Therefore, in the present study we retrospectively analyzed our TEE records to clarify the capabilities, limitations, and pitfalls of TEE assessment to serve as the first step in further refining intraoperative strategies in SAVR for the coming era.…”
