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 ...

[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: 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.

Combined transesophageal echocardiography and transesophageal cardioversion probe: Technical aspects

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2005
A probe assembly for simultaneous transesophageal echocardiography and transesophageal cardioversion has been developed. This probe allows cardioversion with the delivery of much lower energy than the standard external approach. Details of the probe construction and its use are described, as is the prospect for future practice.

A New Transesophageal Probe for Newborns

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2009
Current transesophageal probes are designed for adults and are used both in the operating theatre for monitoring as well as in the outpatient clinic for patients with specific indications, like obesity, artificial valves, etc. For newborns (

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 and transnasal, transesophageal ultrasound imaging system

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2003
A semi-invasive ultrasound imaging system for imaging biological tissue includes a transesophageal probe or a transnasal, transesophageal probe connected to a two-dimensional ultrasound transducer array, a transmit beamformer, a receive beamformer, and an image generator. The two-dimensional transducer array is disposed on a distal portion of the probe'

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.
