Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography: diagnosing intraoperative pulmonary artery thrombus.
A 61-year-old patient with the diagnosis of acute heart failure based on severe mitral valve insufficiency due to chordae rupture was scheduled for surgery. Intraoperatively, a standard two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiogram (2D-TEE) examination, revealed severe mitral valve regurgitation due to a prolaps with chordal rupture and an echo dense structure in the pulmonary artery (PA). Bec...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography: a novel technique for guidance and placement of an epidural catheter in infants.
219 January 2013 E PIDURAL block has been used extensively in pediatric patients.1Epidural block reduces the need for opioid usage, improves hemodynamic stability,2 decreases the need for postoperative ventilator support,3and lowers perioperative stress levels.4 Although cephalad advancement of epidural catheters from the caudal space to the thoracic region is commonly used, blind catheter adva...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography: a screening method for pulmonary vein stenosis after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
AIMS Pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis has been described as a complication after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. The aim of the study was to investigate the diagnostic role of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the assessment of PV stenosis. METHODS Ninety-one patients (71 men, mean age 57+/-16years), initially treated by catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, underwent re-abl...
متن کاملCentral pulmonary artery lesions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A transesophageal echocardiography study.
BACKGROUND In patients with acute pulmonary embolism, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) often reveals presumably thrombotic lesions within the central pulmonary arteries (CPAs). These CPA lesions, when found in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension, have been attributed to in situ thrombosis or atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that similar CPA lesions may also develop in patients wi...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography in rats using an intravascular ultrasound catheter.
In vivo assessment of cardiac structure and function in small animals is an important experimental goal, but currently available techniques have significant limitations. A commercially available intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) system was adapted to perform transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in rats. Twelve Sprague-Dawley rats (270-370 g) were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital ...
