Intraoperative epicardial echocardiography or transoesophageal echocardiography in CHD: how much does it matter?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Cardiology in the young"
DOI: 10.1017/s1047951122001536
Abstract: BACKGROUND Intraoperative imaging determines the integrity of surgical repairs. Transoesophageal echocardiography represents standard care for intraoperative imaging in CHD. However, some conditions preclude its use, and epicardial echocardiography is used alternatively. Minimal literature exists on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1530/erp-17-0042
Abstract: Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is frequently performed prior to atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation to exclude left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus. However, patients undergoing AF ablation are usually anticoagulated, thus making the presence of thrombus unlikely in… read more here.
