TTE vs TEE TEE considered more sensitive/specific 5% chance of finding pathologies that change management TTE with appropriate maneuvers very sensitive for PFO TTE better for LV thrombus TEE preferred if valvular disease suspected TEE better at imaging left atrium/appendage
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is often used to check for the presence of blood clots before this procedure. Complications are uncommon but may include: Allergic reactions to the medications Irritation of the skin on your chest or back where the electrodes were applied during electrical cardioversion
TEE Provides high-quality assessment of mitral and prosthetic valve, including definition of intracardiac masses & possible associated abnormalities
For mechanical valves, urgent TTE, TEE, fluro, and/or CT imaging is recommended for suspected valve thrombosis (1). For a thrombosed left sided mechanical valve, slow infusion, low dose fibrinolytic therapy or emergency surgery is recommended (1). In a suspected bioprosthetic valve thrombosis, 3D or 4D CT imaging is reasonable (2a).
