Transesophageal echocardiography is a relatively safe procedure; however, there are rare complications associated with it. Multiple attempts during TEE can lead to injury of hypopharyngeal or parapharyngeal wall leading to an infection. Here, we describe a case of hypopharyngeal-parapharyngeal abscess resulting from multiple TEE attempts during cardioversion leading to a prolonged hospital course.
经食管超声心动图检查是一种相对安全的检查方法;然而,它也存在一些罕见的并发症。经食管超声心动图检查过程中的多次尝试可能导致下咽或咽旁壁损伤,进而引发感染。在此,我们描述一例因心脏复律期间多次进行经食管超声心动图检查尝试而导致下咽-咽旁脓肿的病例,该病例导致住院时间延长。
