- Transesophageal Echocardiography - American Heart Association
What is transesophageal echocardiography? Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a test that makes pictures of your heart TEE uses sound waves (ultrasound) to make detailed pictures of your heart and the arteries that lead to and from it
- Considerations of Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiography . . .
Intraoperative TEE use has been shown to improve outcomes and reduce mortality in high-risk cardiac surgery patients, particularly those undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), valve, and aortic surgeries
- Heart Walk - American Heart Association
The Heart Walk is the American Heart Association's premiere event for raising funds to save lives from USA's #1 and #5 killers - heart disease and stroke
- PowerPoint Presentation
TEE Provides high-quality assessment of mitral and prosthetic valve, including definition of intracardiac masses possible associated abnormalities
- Nonsurgical Procedures for Atrial Fibrillation - American Heart Association
Before cardioversion, you may need a test called a TEE (transesophageal echocardiography) During this test, you swallow a small ultrasound device This lets the health care team look inside your heart atria for blood clots If blood clots are found, you may need blood thinners* before cardioversion This will help reduce your stroke risk
- PREVENTION OF INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS
Nondental Procedures: In patients with valvular heart disease who are at high risk of IE, antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended for nondental procedures, such as TEE, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy or cystoscopy, in the absence of active infection
- Cardioversion - American Heart Association
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is often used to check for the presence of blood clots before this procedure Complications are uncommon but may include:
- Cryptogenic Stroke - American Heart Association
Infectious Etiologies Rare but delayed treatment significant consequences Embolism from infective endocarditis Ischemic lesions, microbleeds, mycotic aneurysms TEE more sensitive
