Transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) evaluation of the mitral and tricuspid valves.
In skilled hands, multiplane TEE provides a comprehensive assessment of the anatomy and function of the mitral and tricuspid valves. TEE is uniquely effective in the evaluation of the diverse pathophysiologic processes that cause valvular heart disease.
