Transesophageal echocardiography
Transthoracic and transesophageal examinations should be considered as mutually complementary. Transesophageal echocardiography is performed in cases of a justified need to visualize structures that are poorly visible or invisible on transthoracic ...

Mitral Valve Prolapse Presenting as Unilateral Pulmonary Edema Mimicking Pneumonia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT A 40‐year‐old man presented with right‐sided pulmonary infiltrates mimicking pneumonia. Imaging and transesophageal echocardiography revealed unilateral pulmonary edema (UPE) from acute severe mitral regurgitation (MR) due to chordal rupture. Unilateral infiltrates with rapid deterioration warrant early echocardiographic evaluation.

Rapidly Progressive Bilateral Infective Endocarditis Involving Prosthetic Material After Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Infective endocarditis after repaired tetralogy of Fallot can rapidly progress when prosthetic material is involved. We report bilateral multivalvular endocarditis undetected by transthoracic echocardiography but identified by transesophageal echocardiography.

Thrombus-Induced Prosthetic Valve Dysfunction Demonstrating Hypo-Attenuated Leaflet Thickening: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hypo‐attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) is an important and potentially underrecognized cause of late bioprosthetic valve dysfunction after surgical AVR. Multimodal imaging, including echocardiography and electrocardiogram‐gated computed tomography, is essential for diagnosis, and timely surgical or medical intervention can effectively ...

Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiographic Vena Contracta Area for Grading Mitral Regurgitation: Severity Cut-offs From a Prospective Tunisian Cohort. [PDF]
Three‐dimensional vena contracta area (VCA) measured by transoesophageal echocardiography enables precise accurate quantification of mitral regurgitation severity. In a Tunisian cohort, 3D VCA showed strong correlations with conventional 2D indices and excellent diagnostic performance for severe MR, supporting its use particularly in rheumatic mitral ...

Transesophageal Echocardiography [PDF]
To describe the role of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the diagnosis of various cardiac pathologic conditions, we reviewed the currently accepted clinical applications, the contraindications to the procedure, and the potential complications. The Mayo Clinic experience with 7,134 TEE examinations during a 6-year period (1988 through 1993) was
