We describe the use of the continuous wave oesophageal Doppler monitor (ODM
II) in the perioperative management of a patient with chronic obstructive
coronary artery disease undergoing transmyocardial revascularization (TMR).
The use of ODM II allowed both quantitative and qualitative assessment of
cardiac function relatively noninvasively. It detected the successful
transmyocardial penetration of a laser beam during operation by visual and
auditory phenomena in addition to reflecting improvement in cardiac
performance after operation.
