This document provides the 2010 updated European Society of Cardiology recommendations for transoesophageal echocardiography, incorporating advances like 3D imaging and perioperative applications.
Updates TEE standards for valvular interventions and perioperative care; extends prior guidelines by integrating 3D imaging.
Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is a standard and indispensable technique in clinical practice. The present recommendations represent an update and extension of the recommendations published in 2001 by the Working Group on Echocardiography of the European Society of Cardiology. New developments covered include technical advances such as 3D transoesophageal echo as well as developing applications such as transoesophageal echo in aortic valve repair and in valvular interventions, as well as a full section on perioperative TOE.
