Intraoperative echocardiography in patients undergoing cardiac surgery was first described in 1972. Interest in intraoperative echocardiography has grown in recent years due to the extensive information provided by 2-dimensional (2-D) and color-flow Doppler imaging via the transesophageal approach. The value of this technique also has been verified in large clinical studies involving patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is very useful in preoperative formulation of surgical plans and in immediate post-operative assessment of surgical results in patients undergoing valve surgery.
心脏手术患者的术中超声心动图于1972年首次被描述。近年来，由于经食管途径的二维（2-D）和彩色血流多普勒成像提供了广泛的信息，人们对术中超声心动图的兴趣与日俱增。这项技术的价值也在涉及心脏手术患者的大型临床研究中得到了验证。术中经食管超声心动图（TEE）在瓣膜手术患者的术前手术计划制定和术后即刻手术结果评估中非常有用。
