TEE may aid precise left-sided WPW ablation catheter placement; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before practice change.
Does transesophageal echocardiography improve positioning of radiofrequency ablation catheters in patients with left-sided Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?
Transesophageal echocardiography can improve the precision of radiofrequency ablation catheter placement in left-sided Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and may reduce fluoroscopy time.
Goldman et al. (1991) studied this question.
