Is it feasible to examine the proximal segments of the left subclavian artery branches during routine transesophageal echocardiography?
This preliminary study shows that it is feasible to image the proximal branches of the left subclavian artery, such as the vertebral and internal mammary arteries, during routine TEE.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Left subclavian branch imaging is feasible on TEE; leaves open diagnostic yield and need for validation before adoption.
Nanda et al. (1999) studied this question.
