摘要
Echocardiography as an imaging medium has been advanced by the introduction of the transesophageal approach, and this high-resolution imaging approach has opened a new window to the heart. In this brief review, we discuss the diagnostic possibilities and clinical advantages of transesophageal echocardiography, based on our clinical application in more than 1,700 awake patients during a 14-year period.
