The relative roles of transthoracic compared with transesophageal echocardiography in children with suspected infective endocarditis.
OBJECTIVES The study evaluated the additional benefit of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) versus transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in pediatric cases with suspected bacterial endocarditis. BACKGROUND In adult patients, TTE has a lower sensitivity and specificity than TEE for the detection of vegetations or aortic root abscess formation. Few data are available about the relative benef...
متن کاملAvoiding transthoracic echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography for patients with variable body mass indexes in infective endocarditis
BACKGROUND Echocardiography has been a popular modality used to aid in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) with the modified Duke criteria. We evaluated the necessity between the uses of either a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patients with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 25 kg/m(2) and less than 25 kg/m(2). METHODS ...
متن کاملThe impact of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in infective endocarditis.
BACKGROUND [corrected] The use of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram in patients with infective endocarditis is usually reserved for cases of inadequate preoperative testing or suspected extension to perivalvular tissue. OBJECTIVES To explore the impact of routine intraoperative TEE in patients with infective endocarditis. METHODS The impact of intraoperative TEE on the operative...
متن کامل[Transesophageal echocardiography in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis].
BACKGROUND The clinical implications of a negative multiplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) have not yet been reported. We aim to determine the negative predictive value (NPV) of a negative multiplane TEE in patients with suspected infective endocarditis (IE). METHODS AND RESULTS We identified 83 consecutive patients with suspected IE and negative multiplane TEE from our echocardiogr...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of harmonic transthoracic echocardiography in native valve infective endocarditis: comparison with transesophageal echocardiography
BACKGROUND Although echocardiography has been incorporated into the diagnostic algorithm of patients with suspected infective endocarditis (IE), systematic usage in clinical practice remains ill defined. To determine the diagnostic accuracy of detecting vegetations using harmonic transthoracic echocardiography (hTTE) as compared to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patients with an inte...
