Abstract

Objective: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is indicated for suspected atrial septal pathology and for monitoring of interventional procedures such as an atrial septal defect (ASD) closure during cardiac catheterization. Transesophageal echocardiography also helps to demonstrate postoperative complications and residual defects of complex congenital cardiac anomalies.Methods: Transesophageal echocardiography was performed in 112 pediatric patients with or suspected atrial pathology at our institution between 1999-2002, using the standard techniques. The mean age was 8.7 ±4.2 years. Results: In 45 of 112 children the suspected atrial defects were confirmed with the TEE. Patent foramen ovale was correctly predicted in 13.4% of patients by TEE, but only in 8.7% of patients by echocardiography. Multiple ASD’s were correctly defined in 4.1%, and high venosus defects were documented in 6,1% of children by the TEE. We used TEE in 13% of patients for detecting atrial vegetations in patients with possible endocarditis, and evaluation of the postoperative care of atrial surgery such as Fontan or Senning operations and total correction of abnormal pulmonary venous return. Successful transcatheter closure of 7 ASD's was accomplished under TEE guidance. Conclusion : Transesophageal echocardiography allows a much more detailed evaluation of atrial morphology than transthoracic echocardiography even in infants. Transesophageal echocardiography is also indicated during interventional procedures and postoperative evaluation of the atrial pathology.

Özet

Amaç: Pediatrik olgularda transözofajiyal ekokardiyografi (TÖE) şüpheli interatriyal septal patolojilerin saptanmasında, kalp kateterizasyonu sırasında atriyal septal defekt’in (ASD) kapatılması gibi girişimsel işlemlerde, doğumsal kalp hastalıklarının postoperatif dönemdeki komplikasyonları ve kompleks kardiyak anomalilerin rezidüel defektlerini saptamada yol gösterici olarak uygulama alanı bulmuştur. Yöntemler: Atriyal patolojisi nedeniyle TÖE yapılan 112 olgunun yakınmaları, tanıları ekokardiyografik ve TÖE bulguları retrospektif olarak analiz edildi.Bulgular: Pediatrik kardiyoloji bölümüne 1999 ile 2002 arasında yaş ortalaması 8.7±4.2 yıl olan 112 hastaya standart teknikle TÖE uygulandı. Poliklinikten başvuran olguların %46’sında ekokardiyografide izlenen atriyal septal defekt TÖE’de de gösterildi. Transözofajiyal ekokardiyografide %13.4 olguda saptanan “patent foramen ovale” doğru bir şekilde saptanırken, ekokardiyografide sadece %8.7’sinde belirlendi. Olguların %4.1’inde multipl, %6.1’inde high venosum ASD saptanırken ekokardiyografide birer hastada saptandı. Postoperatif atriyal cerrahi görmüş hastalardan 15’ine olası endokardit sekonder atriyal vejetasyon, trombus araştırılması, Fontan, Senning operasyonun veya total anormal pulmoner venöz dönüş anomalisinde anastomozların değerlendirilmesi amaçlarıyla TÖE yapıldı. Yedi hastanın transkatater yöntemle ASD kapatılması TÖE eşliğinde başarıyla yapıldı. Sonuç : Transözofajiyal ekokardiyografide atriyal morfolojiyi transtorasik ekokardiyografiye göre daha net belirlemekte yol göstericidir. Transözofajiyal ekokardiyografide atriyal septal defektlerin kesin tanısı ve morfolojisini belirler ayrıca girişimsel prosedürlerde işlemin başarısında ve atriyal patolojinin postoperatif değerlendirilmesinde gereklidir.
