Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is a diagnostic method performed by advancing a specialized tube with a thin ultrasound probe at its tip into the esophagus. Due to the esophagus's close proximity to the heart, this method allows for more detailed and clearer images of the heart and its surrounding major blood vessels compared to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Before the procedure, a local anesthetic spray is applied to numb the throat. Your physician will guide you through the process of swallowing the tube. During TEE, the patient is typically positioned on their left side. Three electrodes are placed on your chest to monitor your heart rhythm. Subsequently, a mouthpiece is provided for you to bite down on, and the tube is advanced through this mouthpiece. The physician will gently guide the tube down your esophagus. It is normal to experience gagging or nausea as the tube progresses. Throughout the procedure, your heart rhythm, blood pressure, respiration, and oxygen saturation in the blood are continuously monitored. The acquired heart images are recorded as video, and printouts of necessary moments are taken. Once the procedure is complete, the cardiology specialist will inform you about the procedure and its results.
