| description | Unintentional iatrogenic surgical complications can complicate the operative and postoperative courses of paediatric cardiac
surgery patients. Unless recognized and treated early, it’s possible, these complications may lead to a prolonged hospital stay,
increased treatment cost, morbidity, and even death. Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is the most common congenital heart defect
in children, occurring in 50% of all children with congenital heart disease and in 20% as an isolated lesion. Herein, we discuss
the development of Superior Vena Cava (SVC) syndrome following surgical repair of VSD in a nine-month-old child. Early clinical
diagnosis, immediate confirmation with Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) and surgical re-exploration led to a good outcome
in this patient. If, however, we could have performed an intraoperative Trans Esophageal Echocardiography (TEE), this complication
could have been recognized, even before shifting from the operating room. |
