pubmed:abstractText
A 10-year-old patient has been followed for 10 years after repair of an aortic-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT) for residual aortic regurgitation and significant recurrent leak through the ALVT. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was done prior to surgery and intraoperatively to (1) clarify the precise anatomy of the ALVT, (2) evaluate the degree of aortic regurgitation, and (3) assess the repair. Delineation of the anatomy of the ALVT and assessment of the residual aortic insufficiency helped with the intraoperative decision-making. We describe the TEE findings of a residual ALVT in this patient and discuss the role of TEE in managing the lesion.
