Thoroughly updated and greatly expanded for its Second Edition, this highly acclaimed atlas is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference on all aspects of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). It features more than 2,300 illustrations-over 1,100 in full color-that demonstrate the full spectrum of findings observed in acquired and congenital cardiac diseases. This edition has two new chapters on transpharyngeal ultrasound and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography. All other chapters have been updated with emphasis on the latest techniques.

This atlas provides a comprehensive description of normal anatomy of the internal structures of the heart (natives valves, interatrial septum, left atrial appendage, left atrium etc..) as seen by this revolutionary ultrasound technique. Normal TEE cardiac structures are described and compared with the corresponding anatomical specimens focusing on the fundamental as well as the details of the cardiac structures, providing a detailed understanding of the anatomy that has not previously been possible with either real-time transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) or reconstructed 3D TEE imaging technology. The atlas contains a large number of challenging cardiac pathology cases observed in clinical settings and based of the combined experience of five outstanding institutions in Europe and United States. Each case is accompanied by a brief presentation and discussion of the value of the imaging modality to effective diagnosis.

This atlas covers the basics of ultrasound physics, provides the necessary background to successfully perform TEE and TTE procedures, and provides tips and tricks that will prove invaluable in the critical care environment. It also features an abundance of high quality photographs, illustrations and videos as well as numerous case studies to test the reader's ability to apply knowledge to real-life clinical situations. Written by experts in the field, The Atlas of Critical Care Echocardiography is a concise, visual guide designed for use by all physicians who see cardiac patients in the ICU.

This outstanding new atlas makes it easy to interpret intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography findings for both healthy and diseased patients. A multidisciplinary team uses clinical case studies to explore the characteristic intraoperative TEE findings for every type of cardiac abnormality, along with correlative imaging and pathology findings. Videos on the accompanying DVD demonstrate echocardiograms, cardiac catheterizations, and surgical procedures. The result is an outstanding way make sure you are obtaining the maximum diagnostic benefit from this versatile modality. Covers every aspect of intraoperative TEE for the most common cardiovascular anomalies as well as for normal presentations. Uses a case-based approach to explore the typical clinical presentation and corresponding TEE findings for each abnormality, to parallel clinical practice. Provides correlative CT and MR images, X-rays, intraoperative photographs, pathological specimens, and line drawings to help you understand what is shown in each TEE image. Offers a unique view of TEE from cardiology, anesthesiology, pharmacology, and surgery perspectives. Includes a DVD with videos demonstrating echocardiograms, cardiac catheterizations, and surgical procedures.

Thoroughly revised and updated for its Second Edition, this highly regarded text and atlas uses a unique problem-oriented approach to demonstrate the clinical applications of transesophageal echocardiography. The book provides comprehensive coverage of current TEE usage in cardiac and noncardiac surgery and features an extensive series of case discussions based on specific presenting problems. Complementing the text are more than 700 large TEE photographs, including 300 state-of-the-art color images. This edition includes multiplane TEE, new imaging modalities, current practice guidelines, and new applications such as TEE use in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. The editors have also added introductory chapters on TEE principles, safety, techniques, and views.

A Practical Approach to Transesophageal Echocardiography, Third Edition, offers a concise and intensely illustrated guide to the current practice of perioperative TEE. Anesthesiology and cardiology attendings, fellows, and residents will find this an indispensible resource to the physics, examination protocols, and practice pitfalls of TEE. Designed in a portable format, A Practical Approach to Transesophageal Echocardiography, Third Edition, serves as a comprehensive and current reference easily carried into the operating room and clinical environments.

Case-based and heavily illustrated, Intraoperative and Interventional Echocardiography: Atlas of Transesophageal Imaging, 2nd Edition covers virtually every clinical scenario in which you're likely to use TEE. Drs. Donald C. Oxorn and Catherine M. Otto provide practical, how-to guidance on transesophageal echocardiography, including new approaches and state-of-the-art technologies. More than 1,500 images sharpen your image acquisition and analysis skills and help you master this challenging technique. - Real-world cases and abundant, detailed figures and tables show you exactly how to proceed, step by step, and get the best results. - Each case begins with a brief presentation and discussion, and integrates clinical echocardiography, surgical pathology, and other imaging data. - Clear descriptions of preoperative pathology guide you in choosing the best approach to common problems. - The practice-based learning approach with expert commentary for each case helps you retain complex information and apply it in your daily practice. - Every chapter has been thoroughly revised, with discussions of new technology and new techniques, including several techniques that are on the verge of becoming mainstream. - New chapters cover current transcatheter valve therapies and device closures. - Expert Consult eBook version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience allows you to search all of the text, figures, images, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
