Transesophageal echocardiography : ウィキペディア英語版 | Transesophageal echocardiogram
A transesophageal echocardiogram, or TEE (TOE in the United Kingdom, reflecting the spelling ''transoesophageal''), is an alternative way to perform an echocardiogram. A specialized probe containing an ultrasound transducer at its tip is passed into the patient's esophagus. This allows image and Doppler evaluation which can be recorded. It has several advantages and some disadvantages compared to a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). ==Indications== Specialty medicine professional organizations recommend against using transesophageal echocardiography to detect cardiac sources of embolization after a patient's health care provider has identified a source of embolization and if that person would not change a patient's management as a result of getting more information.〔, which cites *〕 Such organizations further recommend that doctors and patients should avoid seeking transesophageal echocardiography only for the sake of protocol-driven testing and to agree to the test only if it is right for the individual patient.〔
