Background: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of tricuspid spectral Doppler (E/A) and tissue Doppler parameters (E/E') to diagnose right ventricular diastolic dysfunction (RVDD) in comparison to American Society of Echocardiography (ASE criteria) in pediatric tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients after surgical repair.
Methods: This prospective, observational study was done at a tertiary care hospital involving 40 pediatric TOF patients aged less than 2 years who underwent complete intracardiac repair with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Echocardiographic observations were made using a pediatric transesophageal echocardiography probe after surgical repair in the post-CPB period.

Background: The role of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and outcomes such as low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) is not well established. The authors investigated the relationship between LVGLS before and after induction of anesthesia, their differences, and their relationship with LCOS and other outcomes.
Methodology: A prospective observational study was conducted in a public/private hospital with 50 adult patients scheduled for on-pump CABG with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Beating-heart CABG in patients with LV dysfunction can provide the best of all words by limiting myocardial injury purported by cardioplegic arrest. Complete revascularization is possible and graft numbers are not different when compared to arrested heart CABG. Furthermore, beating-heart CABG more often reduces the need for intraoperative and postoperative mechanical support reducing the complications and costs associated with these devices.

Intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring is crucial for managing patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) due to their complex cardiovascular and pulmonary abnormalities. Traditionally, pulmonary artery catheterization (PAC) has been the standard for hemodynamic monitoring during OLT. However, the use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has increased due to its real-time visualization of cardiac and vascular structures, which aids in managing hemodynamic instability during the three surgical phases of OLT: pre-anhepatic, anhepatic, and neo-hepatic.

To explore techniques, advantages and disadvantages of 3D Slicer reconstruction and 3D printing localization technology combined with transcranial neuroendoscopy in ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery. Retrospective analysis of clinical data of patients with hydrocephalus treated by ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery using 3D Slicer reconstruction and 3D printing positioning technology combined with transcranial neuroendoscopy in our hospital from October 2021 to March 2023. A total of 33 patients with complete data were collected, including 19 males and 14 females, aged 10-81 years.
