Abstract：
:Routine use of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a safe monitoring and diagnostic method during pediatric congenital cardiac surgery. However, the question of whether intraoperative TEE is accurate and cost effective for patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) has not been raised. This study aimed to analyze the cost-benefit of routine TEE during the repair of TOF. The medical records, including TEE results, for patients who underwent correction of TOF between January 1997 and June 2007 were reviewed and retrospectively analyzed. Intraoperative TEE was performed for 340 patients (85 %). Residual problems were detected in 17.9 % (61/340), and a return to bypass was needed for 10 % (34/340) of the patients. The degree of agreement between the intraoperative TEE and early postoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was relatively high. Surgeons with less surgical experience more frequently used intraoperative TEE (p = 0.007) and performed repeat bypass surgery at a higher rate (p = 0.00). Even relatively unskilled surgeons might be able to achieve surgical outcomes similar to those of experienced surgeons using intraoperative TEE. By avoiding late surgical revision, the possible cost savings were estimated to be 1,726,000 Korean won (US$1,489) per TEE examination. Intraoperative TEE can be used as a tool for surgeons in making decisions in the operating room. In addition, intraoperative TEE decreased the frequency of reoperations and postoperative interventions. The results of this study demonstrate that routine intraoperative TEE during repair of TOF was both clinically beneficial and cost effective.
