TRANSESOPHAGEAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY

Critical Care Clinics, 1996
This article presents an overview of the benefits and efficacy of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the critically ill patient. The echocardiographic evaluation of ventricular function both regional and global, is discussed with special emphasis on ischemic heart disease; assessment of preload, interrogation of valvular heart disease ...

Transesophageal Echocardiography

Postgraduate medicine
Abstract The use of ultrasonography in the intensive care unit has revolutionized patient care and is continuing to evolve as new tools are developed. The use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) offers additional information when use of transthoracic echocardiography may be limited.

Transesophageal echocardiography and stroke

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2005
Only coronary artery disease and cancer kill more people than stroke in the United States. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a semi-invasive ultrasound cardiac imaging technique that provides superior anatomic detail as well as functional information.

Transesophageal Echocardiography: Is it for Everyone?

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1990
Intraoperative use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to detect ischemia is more predictive of a postoperative myocardial infarction than is ECG, and two-dimensional (2-D) TEE has been shown to be more sensitive than ECG in detecting regional wall-motion abnormalities, which are highly suggestive of ischemia.

[New procedures in transesophageal echocardiography: multiplane transesophageal echocardiography and transesophageal stress echocardiography].

Herz, 1994
Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography is a new development in transducer technology, which allows by rotation of the transducer to obtain not only transverse and longitudinal planes but also all intermediate planes. Exterior control allows continuous rotation of the scanning plane from the conventional transverse plane, corresponding to 0 degree,

Transesophageal Echocardiography in Endocarditis

Cardiology Clinics, 1993
TEE plays a central role in the diagnosis and management of infective endocarditis. In experienced hands this technique is probably over 90% sensitive and specific for the detection of intracardiac lesions associated with endocarditis. TEE should be performed as soon as possible once endocarditis is suspected.

Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiography

Cardiology in Review, 2000
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an important tool in the intraoperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery as well as high-risk patients undergoing noncardiac procedures. This technique is widely used during valve surgery and particularly valuable during valve repair.
