Transesophageal echocardiography provides essential real-time 2D and 3D imaging for planning and guiding structural heart disease interventions.
Endorses TEE for structural intervention guidance; leaves open standardization of 3D protocols across centers.
Multimodality imaging, particularly echocardiography, is paramount in planning and guiding structural heart disease interventions. Transesophageal echocardiography remains unique in its ability to provide real-time 2D and 3D imaging of valvular heart disease and anatomic cardiac defects, which directly impacts the strategy and outcome of these procedures. This review summarizes the role of transesophageal echocardiography in patients undergoing the most common structural heart disease interventions.
