Abstract：Objective To observe the application of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guide the central type atrial septal defect occlusion during the minimally invasive surgery,and to evaluate the clinical value of TEE in the operation.Methods Totally 37 patients were studied in the first people's hospital of Shangqiu city cardiac surgery.We reassessed the sizes of the atrial septal defects and the margins,the suitable occluders by TEE,the atrial septal defect location,size,shape,each section of residual diameter,etc.After 3 months,6 months,1 year,patients were followed up to observe whether the occluder shift or off,with or without residual shunt and other complications.Results After preoperative TEE screening found inferior vena type atrial septal defect 1 case again.The occluder was successfully implanted in 35 patients.2 patients were found with trace residual shunt and only 1 patient was found residual shunt after 3 months.Follow-up at intervals showed that the occluders stayed firmly.There was no residual shunt or valve regurgitation.Conclusion Transesophageal echocardiography can guide minimally invasive closure.
