Abstract

Now updated throughout, with new TEE views, new ASE guidelines, and new coverage of key topics, the TEE Pocket Manual, 2nd Edition, is an indispensable guide to transesophageal echocardiography and its clinical applications. This concise, complete handbook includes everything you need to know when doing TEE and for reporting: normal values, explanations of abnormal findings, schematics and tables, formulas, calculations, pitfalls and artifacts, and more.

  • More TEE views – 28 in all – and additional line drawings.
  • Updated grading for vascular disease based on ASE Guidelines, specifically aortic stenosis, aortic insufficiency, and mitral stenosis.
  • Increased coverage of assessment of right ventral function, including dP/dt, volume overload, and pressure overload.
  • Addition of the various transcatheter aortic valves to discussion of prosthetic valves.
  • Expanded chapter on 3D TEE to include assessment of left ventricular function and mitral valve anatomy.
  • New material on TEE for catheter-based interventions such as transcather aortic valve replacement, left atrial appendage occlusion and MitraClip.
