| Popis: | The first intraoperative, epicardial M-mode echocardiograms were performed in 1972 to assess postoperative valve function in patients undergoing mitral valve commissurotomy and prosthetic valve replacement [13]. It was, however, not until the early 1980s that echocardiography became recognized as a potentially useful intraoperative tool. The first two-dimensional (2-D) in-traoperative echocardiogram, reporting echo-guided surgical removal of a foreign body, was from Duke University in 1981 [10]. Subsequently, Spotnitz and Malm [21] first reported epicardial 2-D imaging to be a safe and useful procedure in patients undergoing a variety of cardiac operations. The recent introduction of Doppler color flow mapping has provided the ability to not only assess structure, but also to simultaneously assess blood flow [23]. |
