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.
The atlas is divided into 11 chapters. Chapters 1 through 3
describe abnormalities affecting mitral, aortic, tricuspid and pulmonary
valves, while prosthetic valves are discussed in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 details
abnormalities of the aorta. Chapters 6-8 examine coronary artery disease,
congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathies, while Chapter 9 explores cases
of infective endocarditis. Chapter 10 deals with tumor and mass lesions, and
the other cases are collectively addressed in Chapter 11. Offering a valuable
new resource, the book will enhance the usefulness of echocardiography during
operations as a “third eye” for surgeons.
