Two dimensional echocardiographic diagnosis of situs.
At present there is no reliable method of recognising atrial isomerism by two dimensional echocardiography. We therefore used two dimensional echocardiography to examine 158 patients including 25 with atrial isomerism and four with situs inversus. Particular attention was paid to the short and long axis subcostal scans of the abdomen. Using the position of the inferior vena cava and the aorta w...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiographic imaging of ultrasound lung rockets.

متن کاملDifferential diagnosis of cardiac masses using contrast echocardiographic perfusion imaging.
OBJECTIVES We investigated the usefulness of echocardiographic contrast perfusion imaging in differentiating cardiac masses. BACKGROUND Two-dimensional echocardiography is the primary diagnostic modality for cardiac masses. However, differentiation between the different types of cardiac masses may be difficult at times. We hypothesized that echocardiographic contrast perfusion imaging would d...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiographic diagnosis of left atrial appendage occluder device infection.
The safety and efficacy of a left atrial appendage closure device is currently under evaluation in a large-scale multi-center clinical trial. We report an initial case of left atrial appendage occluder device infection with Staphylococcus aureus; transesophageal echocardiography played a pivotal role in diagnosis and treatment.
