Where this comes from

Abstract

Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is used to adjust the tension of a de Vega tricuspid annuloplasty suture. Leading the suture outside the right atrium allows the annulus to be adjusted after cardiopulmonary bypass is discontinued when cardiac function has returned.
