AbstractA 21-year-old woman with tetralogy of Fallot, who had undergone a right Blalock-Taussig shunt at one year of age, developed endocarditis of the aortic valve. Septic thrombosis of the right pulmonary artery was diagnosed by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. Replacement of the aortic valve initially performed by a St. Jude Medical prosthesis, was unsuccessful due to immobilization of the valve occluder. Subsequent replacement of the St. Jude valve by a Carpentier-Edwards valve was uneventful. Thrombectomy and patch enlargement of the right pulmonary artery were also performed successfully. We suggest that the St. Jude Medical valve should be employed with caution for replacement of the aortic valve in patients with tetralogy of Fallot who have not undergone intracardiac repair. Transesophageal echocardiography is extremely useful in discovering undiagnosed associated lesion such as septic thrombosis of the pulmonary arteries.

Objective: To investigate whether tendon reconstruction during mitral valve repair can be effectively guided by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), using the mid-esophageal bi-commissure view, bicaval view and the aortic valve–mitral valve transition short-axis view.Methods: A total of 40 patients that underwent mitral valve repair with artificial tendineae were recruited. Before the operation, conventional transthoracic echocardiography was used to determine whether mitral valve repair would be possible. Following intraoperative anesthesia, two-dimensional and three-dimensional TEE reconstructions were used to assess the state of the valve and tendon and to make a repair plan.Results: TEE accurately diagnosed single functional tendon rupture and predicted single artificial tendon implantation in 88% of cases (23/26). TEE accurately diagnosed single functional tendon rupture and predicted the implantation of two artificial tendons in 100% of cases (4/4). TEE accurately diagnosed two or more functional tendon ruptures and predicted the implantation of two artificial tendons in 100% of cases (5/5). The length of the tendon cord predicted by TEE (2.45 ± 0.15 mm) was not significantly different (P > 0.05) from the length of the cord that was actually implanted (2.31 ± 0.11 mm). TEE also accurately predicted the size of the annuloplasty ring in 86% of cases (33/38), with differences of 2 mm or less compared to the size of the ring that was actually implanted.Conclusion: Both the mid-esophageal bi-commissure view, bicaval view and the short-axis view of the aortic valve–mitral valve transition can reduce the difficulty of tendon reconstruction by helping to determine what length of tendon and what size of artificial annulus are required.
