Heart surgery monitoring: can two ultrasound methods give the same results?
NCT ID NCT05404737
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether two types of heart ultrasound (TTE and TEE) give the same measurement of right ventricle function during heart surgery. Researchers measured the right ventricle's shortening fraction in 90 adults undergoing scheduled cardiac surgery. The goal was to see if these methods can be used interchangeably to monitor heart function before, during, and after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors use either TTE or TEE interchangeably to measure right ventricle function during heart surgery, improving monitoring without extra procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study focused on measurement accuracy, not a treatment. Results may not apply to all patients or settings, and the technique may not change patient outcomes.
