Echocardiography
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is an effective, non-invasive alternative to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for guiding the repair of atrial and ventricular septal defects.
- A study involving 1295 patients found that TTE had similar procedural success rates and residual shunt outcomes as TEE.
- However, TTE resulted in fewer late complications and shorter procedure and fluoroscopy times, making it a potentially more favorable option.
