transesophageal echocardiogram

Using these parameters and a good transesophageal echocardiogram the precise mechanism of regurgitation can be determined in most instances.

A transesophageal echocardiogram is continuously displayed to ensure adequate monitoring of cardiac function and filling.

He thought we would need a transesophageal echocardiogram to evaluate the mitral valve more closely, and then we could proceed from those findings.

Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE)

Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE, an ultra-sound of the heart done through the esophagus) can be used to verify that the new valve is functioning properly.

The complaint alleges that while Ms. Lopez underwent a routine transesophageal echocardiogram ("TEE") at ST.

"Upon returning to New York City, Mr. Giuliani came to me for an examination and a further test, a transesophageal echocardiogram, which was normal," Fuster said.

Dr. Fuster said he personally examined Mr. Giuliani upon his return to New York and gave him a transesophageal echocardiogram, which produces images of the heart.

A transesophageal echocardiogram revealed mild aortic insufficiency, moderate mitral regurgitation and a 0.3 cm mobile echogenic mass on the atrial side of the mitral valve.

A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) indicates if there is an aortic regurgitation, but a 3-D transesophageal echocardiogram can give a better view of the aortic valve.

A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) or a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) may also be done to further diagnose thoracic aortic aneurysm.

A transesophageal echocardiogram, or TEE (TOE in the United Kingdom, reflecting the spelling transoesophageal), is an alternative way to perform an echocardiogram.

The transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is a relatively good test in the diagnosis of aortic dissection, with a sensitivity of up to 98% and a specificity of up to 97%.

A carefully conducted transesophageal echocardiogram during the operation and prior to the repair will be important to define the exact deformation of the aortic valve and thus the mechanism of regurgitation.

Transesophageal echocardiography has rapidly become the most powerful monitoring technique and diagnostic tool for the management of cardiac surgical patients, primarily due to the transesophageal echocardiogram probe location and ability to be used intraoperatively.

Because of inability to obtain accurate images of the left atrium and the pulmonary veins with a transthoracic echocardiogram, a transesophageal echocardiogram may be necessary in some cases to determine the severity of MI.
