About this Item

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has gained wide acceptance as a new diagnostic technique in adult acquired heart disease because of its relatively non-invasive nature and its high image quality compared with transthoracic echocardiography. With the introduction of smaller transesophageal probes, the use of TEE to display cardiac anatomy and assess surgical repair in infants and children with complex congenital heart disease has become possible. This new book provides an authoritative introduction to all aspects of the procedure. It will be invaluable to all paediatric cardiologists and adult cardiologists who wish to use TEE in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with congenital heart disease. It will also be of interest to cardiac surgeons and anaesthetists who use TEE in the perioperative period.

About this title

Synopsis

Transoesophageal echocariography is a technique which provides a more precise means of examining cardiac stricture and function than traditional echocardiography. One of the advantages that it has over other techniques in the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease, is that without being a truly invasive procedure the images of the heart produced are much clearer from within the oesophagus than through the abdominal wall, as in alternative procedures. Providing an introduction to transoesophageal echocardiography, this reference is designed for use in departments that are either already using or are considering using and interpreting results of this procedure.
