The Usefulness of Transesophageal Echocardiography to Assess Coronary Artery Blood Flow

Keisuke Sumii*, Tomohisa Tamai, Hiroe Hamaguchi and Koichiro Goto

Evaluation of coronary artery blood flow using transesophageal echocardiography is a very useful noninvasive and rapid test, although there are some problems such as technical differences between examiners and angle dependency of blood flow evaluation. In coronary artery bypass surgery, it is useful to determine the degree of preoperative coronary artery stenosis and to evaluate grafts, and in Bentall surgery, it is useful to confirm that no medically induced coronary artery stenosis caused by coronary artery reconstruction has occurred. Further studies will be conducted to improve the accuracy and usefulness of this method.
