The authors present their initial experience with a new echocardiographic method, transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE). From an oesophageal approach it gives a remarkable view of the anatomy and functional parameters of the heart in practically all examined patients. It opens also new diagnostic possibilities. The main advantages of the method include the possibility to use high frequency probes (5 MHz, or more), which visualize more subtile structures than transthoracic echocardiography (TEE). A valuable aspect is also the absence of interfering structures such as lungs and ribs.
作者介绍了他们使用一种新的超声心动图方法——经食管超声心动图（TEE）的初步经验。从食管途径，它几乎能为所有受检患者提供心脏解剖结构和功能参数的清晰视图。它还开辟了新的诊断可能性。该方法的主要优点包括能够使用高频探头（5兆赫或更高），与经胸超声心动图（TTE）相比，高频探头能更清晰地显示更细微的结构。一个重要的方面是不存在诸如肺和肋骨等干扰结构。
