Abstract
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is useful in the diagnosis of intracardiac masses and tumors, vegetations, native and prosthetic valve dysfunction, thoracic aorta disease and congenital heart disease.
1 Recent reports suggest a variation in the use of TEE.
2–6 These reports generally describe either initial experiences
2 or reviews over 6 to 7 months.
5,6 Since new diagnostic techniques typically pass through stages before becoming part of established medical practice,
7 we hypothesized that the use of TEE varies with time after introduction into a hospital setting.
