Pulmonary vein stenosis assessed by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography

, 2014
We report a case about a 43-year-old man admitted to hospital with progressive exertional dyspnea and hemoptysis. Two months before admission, he had undergone radiofrequency ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Transesophageal Echocardiographic Characteristics of Secundum-Type Atrial-Septal Defect in Adult Patients

Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2009
Background: Given the dearth of data in the existing literature on the size and morphologic variability of secundum-type atrial-septal defect (ASD-II) in adult patients, we aimed to address this issue in a series of consecutive adult patients evaluated ...

Bipolar transesophageal thoracic spinal cord stimulation: A novel clinically relevant method for motor-evoked potentialsCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Techniques, 2020
Objective: Although transesophageal motor-evoked potential elicited by monopolar cervical cord stimulation is more stable and rapid in response to ischemia than transcranial motor-evoked potential in canine experiments, direct cervical alpha motor neuron

Transesophageal echocardiographic findings in stroke subtypes.

, 1994
Transesophageal echocardiography has a high yield for detecting potential cardiac sources of embolism in patients with clinical risk factors for cardioembolism or unexplained stroke. The yield in other stroke subtypes is unknown.

Catheter‐related bloodstream infections, infective endocarditis, and vertebral osteomyelitis in adults receiving home parenteral nutrition: A descriptive cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Intestinal failure patients receiving home parenteral nutrition are at risk of catheter‐related bloodstream infection. Metastatic infections include infective endocarditis and vertebral osteomyelitis. We aimed to investigate the incidences of catheter‐related bloodstream infection, infective endocarditis, and vertebral osteomyelitis

Usefulness of transesophageal echocardiography for diagnosis of infected transvenous permanent pacemakers

, 1994
Se sabía que la ecocardiografía transesofágica es más eficaz que la ecocardiografía transtorácica para detectar vegetaciones en los cables de marcapasos permanentes transvenosos infectados.

Learning Curve of Pentaspline Pulsed‐Field Ablation With Posterior Wall Isolation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pentaspline pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a novel modality for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and posterior wall isolation (PWI) in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the learning curve associated with combined PVI + PWI and the contribution of anatomical factors to acute lesion completeness remain ...

Transesophageal Echocardiography [PDF]

Circulation, 2003
Case: A 36 year-old woman without significant past medical history was admitted with left-sided hemiparesis. Imaging studies confirmed a right middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke with normal carotid arteries. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) showed right heart enlargement and a large secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) (Figure 1).

Safety and Outcomes of Percutaneous Vegetation Aspiration During Transvenous Lead Extraction: A Multicenter Experience

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) for cardiac implantable electronic device infection has high procedural success, but with a 1‐year mortality approaching 25%. Potential mechanisms include septic embolization and persistent infected lead casts or “ghosts.” Percutaneous mechanical aspiration of lead‐related vegetations during TLE is ...

Omnipolar Technology Near Field Versus Fragmentation Signals Mapping at Anatomically Defined Ganglionated Plexi Sites During Cardioneuroablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Omnipolar Technology Near Field versus fragmentation signals mapping at anatomically defined ganglionated plexi sites during cardioneuroablation. The procedural workflow (left) guides patient selection through real‐time GP detection, biatrial ablation, and acute endpoint assessment, yielding 81% syncope‐free survival at 20 months.
