Accuracy of Intraoperative Epicardial Echocardiography in the Assessment of Surgical Repair of Congenital Heart Defects confirmed.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of epicardial echocardiography in detecting residual lesions after surgical repair of congenital heart defects. To determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive valve, negative predictive valve, and false negative and false positive percentage of the same.

Materials And Methods: One year hospital-based prospective study of epicardial echocardiography in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass for surgical correction of congenital heart defects in children and adults.
