Figure 51-5
A, Echocardiogram with
a Doppler flow map in the long-axis view illustrating a residual ventricular septal
defect (VSD) resulting from patch dehiscence after initial repair. Turbulent flow
through the VSD appears as a mosaic of white particles (arrow).
This finding necessitated immediate reinstitution of cardiopulmonary bypass and
re-repair. B, Repeat Doppler flow map in the long-axis
view illustrates patch closure (arrow) of the VSD
after re-repair. Note the absence of turbulent flow with the loss of the mosaic
of white particles.; Ao, aorta; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle.
