Abstract:Objective To explore the safety and effectiveness of the transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guiding the adjustable curved scabbard through the right internal jugular vein to block atrial septal defect.Methods From June 2017 to June 2019 in our hospital heart center, clinical data of patients underwent adjustable curved scabbard through the right internal jugular vein to block atrial septal defect were collected. According to random number table method, all patients were divided into 2 groups, including TTE guided treatment group (60 cases) and TEE guided control group (60 cases). During the whole operation, the guidewire sheath tube was passed through the ASD under the guidance of TTE or TEE. The operation time, clinical indicators, length of hospital stay, and postoperative prognosis were recorded. After discharge, the patient was followed up for chest radiograph, electrocardiogram, and echocardiography.Results Two groups of children through the jugular vein route adjustable sheath closure were successful. There was no significant statistical difference in operation time and hospital stay between the two groups (P >0.05), and there were no complications such as peripheral vascular injury, intracardiac infection, or pericardial effusion. During the follow-up period of (24.2 ± 4.1) months, there were no arrhythmias, residual shunt, loss of blockages, or thrombosis.Conclusion Satisfactory prognosis can be obtained by both ultrasound guidance methods. TTE guidance can avoid the operation of tracheal intubation and transesophageal intubation after general anesthesia, prevent the occurrence of trachea and esophageal bleeding, perforation and other complications, and is more worthy of clinical promotion.
