Transoesophageal stress echocardiography.

چکیده
Transoesophageal echocardiography has been performed in conjunction with pacing, dobutamine, or dipyridamole stress to detect stress-inducible ischaemia, and has proved to be a highly accurate diagnostic tool. Its advantages of improved image quality and high diagnostic accuracy have to be weighed against the disadvantages of semi-invasiveness and patient discomfort. The existing data on this stress echo modality and on special applications (diastolic dysfunction, ischaemic mitral regurgitation, hibernating myocardium, peri-operative risk assessment) are reviewed.

Dobutamine stress echocardiography after coronary artery bypass grafting. Transthoracic vs biplane transoesophageal imaging.
Graft failure or progressive native vessel disease can be a serious problem after coronary artery bypass grafting. However, because of poor image quality it may be difficult to evaluate these patients by transthoracic stress echocardiography. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to evaluate the effectiveness of dobutamine stress echocardiography in the detection of myocardial territories w...

متن کاملRefractory hypoxaemia after pneumonectomy: diagnosis by transoesophageal echocardiography.
A patient with normal oxygenation before operation became very breathless and hypoxaemic after a right pneumonectomy. Transoesophageal echocardiography showed right to left interatrial shunting due to a patent foramen ovale. Transoesophageal echocardiography should be included in the assessment of patients who became inappropriately dyspnoeic after pneumonectomy.
