Quando o 3D TEE faz a diferença

.

No começo da era 3D, em 2012, muitos ecocardiografistas se perguntavam, qual era a real vantagem do 3D?

.

Primeiro ao TT, depois ao TEE, o 3D dava detalhes da morfologia e hemodinâmica que não eram imediatamente aplicados nas cirurgias cardíacas.

O cirurgião sempre teve a sua verdadeira “visão do cirurgião”

.

Com a disseminação das intervenções endovasculares, o 3D TEE pode ser útil instantaneamente.

.

O caso acima é um belo exemplo!

Possible pitfalls in pulse wave Doppler recordings of atrial and ventricular filling:[3][6]
Similar respiratory variation in mitral inflow velocity may occur in several clinical settings such as acute dilatation of the heart, pulmonary embolism, right ventricular infarct, conditions in which a dilated right ventricle helps in the differential diagnosis
Increased respiratory variation in mitral and tricuspid inflow velocities are seen in chronic obstructive lung disease without pericardial constriction due to respiratory changes in intrathoracic pressure. In this setting, E/A ratio is lower, EDT is more prolonged and there is a more pronounced respiratory variation in superior vena cava flow with increase in forward flow and systolic dominant flow with inspiration
Persistence of respiratory variation in mitral and tricuspid inflow velocities after pericardiectomy
Absence of respiratory variation in mitral inflow velocity in cases of markedly elevated left atrial pressure
Reduced respiratory variation in mitral inflow velocity in atrial fibrillation, with more pronounced respiratory change in D-wave velocity in this setting.
