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

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 cardioversion

American Heart Journal, 1993
With the use of a novel quadripolar esophageal electrode system, we have attempted 131 transesophageal cardioversions in 105 patients: 109 episodes were atrial fibrillation, 16 episodes were atrial flutter, 2 episodes were supraventricular tachycardia, and 4 episodes were ventricular tachycardia.

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.

Transesophageal cardiac pacing

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1969
Abstract Our initial clinical experience with human transesophageal pacing is described. We were successful in pacing the heart of this patient at a fixed rate for 36 hours and on demand pacing for 24 additional hours, with no significant adverse effects to the esophagus.
