Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is an important imaging method for the evaluation of cardiac structure and function, and it holds significant value in the clinical management of cardiovascular diseases. Unlike transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), which is non-invasive, TEE involves semi-invasive intracavity operations, leading to increasing attention to its safety and potential complications. Especially with the increasing demand for TEE applications in clinical practice and the rapid growth in the number of facilities utilizing it, the standardized application and safe operation of TEE technology have become particularly crucial. This article will review the literature and draw upon personal experience to analyze the complications and safety of TEE examinations from a technical perspective.
经食管超声心动图(TEE)是评估心脏结构和功能的重要成像方法,在心血管疾病的临床管理中具有重要价值。与无创的经胸超声心动图(TTE)不同,TEE涉及半侵入性腔内操作,这使得人们越来越关注其安全性和潜在并发症。特别是随着临床实践中对TEE应用的需求不断增加以及使用该技术的设备数量迅速增长,TEE技术的规范应用和安全操作变得尤为关键。本文将回顾文献并结合个人经验,从技术角度分析TEE检查的并发症和安全性。
