The use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the operating room and intensive care unit can provide invaluable information on cardiac as well as abdominal organ structures and function. This approach may be particularly useful when the transabdominal ultrasound examination is not possible during intraoperative procedures or for anatomical reasons. This review explores the role of transgastric abdominal ultrasonography (TGAUS) in perioperative medicine. We describe several reported applications using 10 views that can be used in the diagnosis of relevant abdominal conditions associated with organ dysfunction and hemodynamic instability in the operating room and the intensive care unit.

Background In the last few years, complex techniques and advanced equipment became available to treat chronically occluded coronary arteries. Such procedures portend a series of possible complications that operators should be ready to quickly recognize and deal with. Case summary A 75-year-old lady with uncontrolled stable angina underwent percutaneous treatment of a chronically occluded right coronary artery. After balloon angioplasty and stenting, she developed a severe hypotension, refractory to fluid resuscitation and vasopressors. Computerized tomography scan demonstrated an intramural haematoma (IMH) of the right atrioventricular groove resulting in life-threatening pseudotamponade (or dry tamponade), as further confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The decision was for conservative management and haemodynamic support by intra-aortic balloon pump. Clinically, the patient improved and was discharged a few days later. Follow-up MRI confirmed resolution of the IMH. Discussion Severe hypotension during percutaneous treatment of chronically occluded coronary arteries may be related to various causes. Differential diagnosis is thus important in this setting and should include IMH, a rare but potentially fatal complication as it may cause compression of cardiac chambers and lead to pseudotamponade. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose IMH but there are no clear guidelines for management of such cases.
