title: [Potentials of transesophageal echocardiography in cardiology and cardiac surgery].
abstract: The paper is concerned with some potentialities of transesophageal echocardiography (TE echoCG) in diagnostic and cardiosurgical practice. Four examples are provided (interatrial septal defect, a new growth in the right atrial cavity, vegetation on the cusps of the aortal valve, left atrial thrombus), illustrating that the use of TE echoCG was of help in the establishment of a correct diagnosis. The method is described as holding promise for observation over heart activity in cardiosurgery. In addition, the authors mark difficulties encountered during interpretation of the data obtained.
