Abstract:
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.
