Atlas of Perioperative 3D Transesophageal Echocardiography: Cases and Videos

This book presents a series of over 50 cases in 3D transesophageal echocardiography. In each case, background information is followed by a step-by-step approach to patient diagnosis and postoperative outcomes. The book's most outstanding highlight consists in over 600 illustrations, which mainly focus on 3D transesophageal echocardiography in combination with 2D transesophageal echocardiography, X-ray fluoroscopy and computed tomography to demonstrate the various cardiovascular pathologies. Since the echo images obtained in clinic practice are moving images, it also includes more than 450 videos, which effectively supplement the static illustrations.

In this second edition, authors add 3-5 new cases at each chapter. Now new technology in 3D TEE rendering technology such as TruVue, a kind of post processing techniques, is also included.

Offering a valuable new resource, the book will enhance the usefulness of echocardiography during operations as a "third eye" for surgeons. With the advances in technology, clinicians are using three‐dimensional (3D) transoesophageal echocardiographic imaging is crucial for device selection during the procedure and to assess the functional result after procedure.
