• Iatrogenic esophageal perforation due to TEE is associated with high mortality. • Vertebral osteophytes are a common radiologic finding in elderly patients. • Pressure applied by the TEE probe on osteophytes can lead to esophageal laceration. • Preoperative imaging should be reviewed before performing TEE. • Severe osteophytosis in the elderly may be a relative contraindication to TEE.
• 经食管超声心动图(TEE)导致的医源性食管穿孔与高死亡率相关。
• 椎体骨赘是老年患者常见的影像学表现。
• TEE探头对骨赘施加的压力可导致食管撕裂。
• 在进行TEE之前应复查术前影像。
• 老年人严重的骨赘形成可能是TEE的相对禁忌证。
