Value of intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography in monitoring left ventricular function in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting.
Journal Title: Kardiologia Polska - Year 2009, Vol 67, Issue 5
Abstract
Intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography (IOTEE) is an integral part of many cardiac surgical procedures and is employed during major non-cardiac operations to monitor cardiac performance, particularly in high-risk patients. In the case of elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures this examination is performed according to experience and availability in a given centre.
