Prognosis of Right Ventricular Dysfunction Assessed by Speckle Tracking in Postoperative Thoracic Surgery
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens
Summary
In postoperative thoracic surgery (lobe resection, pneumonectomy or wedge resection), cardiovascular complications are the most frequent (10 to 15%) with a significant morbi-mortality rate. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a complication that can be multifactorial in post thoracic surgery. The RV longitudinal shortening fraction (RV-LSF) is a new 2D-STE parameters able to more accurately detect patients with RV dysfunction compared to conventional echocardiographic parameters. This project is a single-center, prospective, interventional study of patients hospitalized at the Amiens University Hospital for scheduled thoracic surgery. TTE is performed preoperatively, at day 2 and day 15 following the thoracic surgery. Echocardiographic parameters will be measured by an echocardiographic expert in offline with a dedicated software. MACE criteria will be collected at day 2, day 15 and day-30 following the thoracic surgery.

transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)
the included patients have a TTE preoperatively in order to evaluate the RV systolic function. TTE will also be done at day 2 and day-15 during the follow-up surgical consultation.
