Figure 3

Intrinsic dynamic iatrogenic obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Mid-esophageal inflow/outflow views during (A, B) diastole and (C, D) systole. Notice the significant decrease in the size of the RVOT tract during systole. (E) Systolic pressure gradient of 22 mm Hg between the pulmonary artery pressure (Ppa) and the right ventricular pressure (Prv) across the RVOT. (F) Intraoperative aspect of the RVOT obstruction (dotted line). (See Videos 2 and 3Inline graphic, view videos online.) LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle.
