Transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) evaluation of intracardiac and pericardial masses.
Transesophageal echocardiography has assisted the detection of intracardiac masses and, in certain cases, aided our ability to define the specific type of mass. This technique, when coupled with three-dimensional imaging, may help to define infiltration of the wall. TEE aids in the intraoperative management of cardiac tumors.
