All right, I'm sure there's some other folks out there who are big fans of e-echocardiography.com's case of the week. Let's see if we can emulate their format a little bit. Apologies in advance for the non-CFD clips...for some reason our PACS system stores them at half-speed.
77 yo M PMH HTN, DM and some other stuff who has had a previous cardiac procedure in the past that required a sternotomy. Now he's coming back for another one.
Pre bypass images:
Post-bypass images:
And....some questions for residents and fellows first:
1. What cardiac procedure did he have historically?
2. What are the pertinent pre-bypass exam findings?
3. After coming off you are on significant inotropic and vasopressor support. The surgeon asks you what you think? What do you say? What do you think has happened?
