在过去的13年里，TEE已被用于心脏和胸主动脉的检查，最近，TEE的临床应用已经大大扩大，包括它在各种胸部创伤中的应用。我们回顾了1994年6月至1995年6月期间经皮冠状动脉介入治疗的使用情况。16名患者接受了各种适应症的TEE治疗，包括创伤性主动脉夹层、胸前穿透伤、异物取回、瓣膜损伤和心脏修复术后评估。在所有这些病例中，TEE都影响患者的治疗决定。作为一种诊断手段和对特定治疗的指导，TEE对心脏或大血管损伤患者的评估是安全、方便、准确的，具有很高的价值。
TEE has been used in the past 13 years to examine the heart and thoracic aorta, and recently the clinical utility of TEE has greatly expanded to include its use in a variety of thoracic trauma injuries. We retrospectively reviewed the use of TEE in our institution from June 1994 to June 1995. Sixteen patients underwent TEE for a variety of indications, including traumatic aortic dissection, penetrating wounds to the precordium, retrieval of a foreign body, valvular trauma, and postoperative evaluation of cardiac repair. TEE affected patient treatment decisions in all of these cases. As a diagnostic modality and as a guide to specific therapy, TEE was safe, expedient, accurate, and highly valuable in the evaluation of patients with trauma to the heart or great vessels.
