Transesophageal Echocardiography

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 1988
Two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography generally has superior sensitivity and image quality compared with precordial echocardiography. Its unique anatomic perspective posterior to the heart often provides important clinical information not obtainable by other imaging approaches and technologies.

Transesophageal Echocardiography

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 1992
Transesophageal echocardiography has provided a new acoustic window to the heart, the great vessels, and the mediastinum. It provides anatomical, functional hemodynamic, and blood flow information. High-quality visualization of left atrial appendage, thoracic aorta, atrial septum, and mitral valvular apparatus can be obtained readily.

Transesophageal echocardiography

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2000
Anesthesiologists are increasingly using transesophageal echocardiography in both cardiac and noncardiac cases. In cardiac anesthesia, considerable progress has been made in the evaluation of mitral valvular disease. Transesophageal echocardiography has also become more useful in the hemodynamic evaluation of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass ...

Safety of Transesophageal Echocardiography

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2010
Since its introduction into the operating room in the early 1980s, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has gained widespread use during cardiac, major vascular, and transplantation surgery, as well as in emergency and intensive care medicine. Moreover, TEE has become an invaluable diagnostic tool for the management of patients with cardiovascular ...

Hemodynamics by Transesophageal Echocardiography

Cardiology Clinics, 1993
The transesophageal approach has improved echocardiographic investigation of cardiac structure and function. As a new window to the heart with markedly improved resolution, TEE gives better insight into cardiac morphology and pathology than does precordial imaging.

Transnasal transesophageal echocardiography

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 1997
Transesophageal echocardiography has been used as a diagnostic tool in the critical care unit. However, long-term serial evaluation of ventricular function with transesophageal echocardiography is difficult because of the current probe sizes and intolerance to prolonged oral intubation.

Transesophageal Echocardiography in Stroke

Cardiology in Review, 2000
Fifteen to twenty percent of all ischemic strokes are of cardioembolic origin. Since the introduction of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in 1976, its clinical application in the diagnosis of cardioembolic stroke has expanded greatly. Comprehensive literature has accumulated showing TEE as an invaluable tool for the diagnosis of cardioembolic ...
