ObjectivesFew data exist on perioperative three-dimensional-derived right ventricular strain. The authors aimed to describe the perioperative course of three-dimensional-derived right ventricular strain in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery patients.DesignProspective, observational, pilot trial.SettingSingle university hospital.ParticipantsThe study comprised 40 patients with preserved left ventricular and right ventricular (RV) function undergoing isolated on-pump CABG surgery.InterventionsThree-dimensional strain analysis and standard echocardiographic evaluation of RV function were performed preoperatively (T1) and postoperatively (T4) with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and intraoperatively before sternotomy (T2) and after sternotomy (T3) with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). All echocardiographic measurements were performed under stable hemodynamic conditions and predefined fluid management without any vasoactive support.Measurements And Main ResultsThe measurements of three-dimensional-derived RV free-wall strain (3D-RV FWS) and RV ejection fraction were performed using TomTec 4D RV-Function 2.0 software. Philips QLAB 10.8 was used to analyze tissue velocity of the tricuspid annulus, tricuspid annular systolic excursion, and RV fractional area change. There were no significant differences (median [interquartile range {IQR}]) between preoperative TTE and intraoperative TEE measurements for 3D-RV FWS (T1 v T2: -22.35 [IQR -17.70 to -27.22] v -24.35 [IQR -20.63 to -29.88]; not significant). 3D-RV FWS remained unchanged after sternotomy (T2 v T3: -24.35 [IQR -20.63 to -29.88] v -23.75 [IQR -20.25 to -29.28]; not significant) but deteriorated significantly after CABG (T1 v T4: -22.35 [IQR -17.70 to -27.22] v -18.5 [IQR -16.90 to -21.65]; p = 0.004).ConclusionIn patients undergoing on-pump CABG, 3D-RV FWS values for awake, spontaneously breathing patients measured with TTE and values assessed in patients under general anesthesia with TEE did not significantly differ. Three-dimensional RV FWS did not change after sternotomy but deteriorated after on-pump CABG.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
