I still remember the exact seat where I was sitting. It was 20 years ago, and I was primed for one of the key exams in my tertiary education. I’d passed Teeline shorthand at 40 words a minute. 50 ...
Although intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is increasingly important in cardiac surgery for monitoring, decision-making, and improving clinical outcomes, current society guidelines have not been updated with the latest evidence on its benefits. Intraoperative TEE use has been shown to improve outcomes and reduce mortality in high-risk cardiac surgery patients, particularly ...
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
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).
TEE Provides high-quality assessment of mitral and prosthetic valve, including definition of intracardiac masses & possible associated abnormalities
