Transesophageal echocardiography is a useful diagnostic tool not only in examination of the heart, but also in examination of the great arteries. Its role in the diagnosis of aortic aneurysm and dissection has been well-established. The pulmonary artery, especially the right pulmonary artery, also can be visualized clearly by this technique. In this report, we described a patient with massive pulmonary embolism which was diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography, and was confirmed by pulmonary angiography.
经食管超声心动图不仅是检查心脏的有用诊断工具，也是检查大动脉的有用诊断工具。其在主动脉瘤和夹层诊断中的作用已得到充分确立。肺动脉，尤其是右肺动脉，也可通过该技术清晰显示。在本报告中，我们描述了一名经食管超声心动图诊断为大面积肺栓塞且经肺血管造影证实的患者。
