Transesophageal doppler ultrasound

Cardiologist

This specialized examination explores the heart, valves and cavities, according to the same principles as during a transthoracic ultrasound, using an ultrasonic sensor, similar to the sonar used by mariners. However, this very small ultrasound sensor is placed over an endoscope (usually used to view your esophagus or stomach). It is in fact a privileged way to obtain images of the heart since the esophagus (in which the probe is introduced) is attached to the heart: the images are of very good quality, which is not always the best. case in transthoracic ultrasound.
