摘要：

Transesophageal (TEE) and transthoracic (TTE) echocardiograms were performed in 110 patients with rheumatic heart disease to evaluate the usefulness of these methods for the detection of left atrial thrombi. TEE was better than TTE for detecting left atrial thrombi (21 vs 9). The thrombi not detected by TTE were in the left atrial appendage in ten and over the left atrial posterior wall in two. Patients with left atrial thrombi had significantly smaller mitral valve area (P < 0.01) and greater left atrial dimension (P < 0.05) than those without. All patients with left atrial thrombi had atrial fibrillation. Thirty-one patients underwent surgical intervention and 13 were found to have left atrial thrombi. TEE detected left atrial thrombi in all 13 patients with a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 100%, and accuracy of 100%, while TTE detected left atrial thrombi in only nine of these 13 patients with a sensitivity of 69.2%, specificity of 100%, and accuracy of 87.1%. Thus, TEE is superior to TTE for the detection of left atrial thrombi, especially for those thrombi located in the left atrial appendage and along the left atrial posterior wall.
