Transesophageal echocardiography-guided cardioversion after cardiac operations.
BACKGROUND Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is often performed during cardiac operations. The need to repeat TEE to exclude left atrial or left atrial appendage thrombus before direct current cardioversion (DCCV) in patients with a recent intraoperative TEE showing no thrombus is unclear. We sought to determine the incidence of and risk factors for new thrombus in patients undergoing TEE-...

THE use of transesophageal echocardiography for intraoperative monitoring of cardiac function is increasing. Complications are rare. Oropharyngeal injury and hypopharyngeal perforation during difficult insertion of the echoprobe in anesthetized patients have been reported. [1,2] One case of perforation of the cervical esophagus in an awake patient after multiple attempts at insertion of the ech...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in cardiac valve surgery.
INTRODUCTION Being a unique diagnostic technique, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has influenced many different aspects of cardiac surgery including valve repair surgery. The cost-effectiveness of this method however is questioned considering the conditions of every region and country. In this study we aimed at answering the question if utilizing TEE throughout valve repair surgery could...
متن کاملRole of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in pediatric cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has a major role in detecting residual lesions during and/or after pediatric cardiac surgery. METHODS All pediatric patients who underwent cardiac surgery between July 2001 and December 2008 were reviewed. The records of surgical procedure, intraoperative TEE, and predischarge transthoracic echocardiograms were reviewed to deter...
متن کاملIntraoperative monitoring with transesophageal echocardiography in cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Since its clinical introduction in the 80s, intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has represented one of the greatest advances in modern cardiac anesthesia. It is a semi-invasive technique that allows direct and fast visualization of structural anatomy of the heart and great vessels as well as contributes to hemodynamic and functional evaluation of the ...
