The Practice of Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography: Essential Cases

edited by Albert C. Perrino Jr., M.D., HS ’87, FW ’88, professor of anesthesiology; Scott T. Reeves, M.D., M.B.A.; and Kathryn Glas, M.D. (Lippincott Williams &; Wilkins) This text provides more than 100 teaching cases, presented in a question-and-answer, self-test format. The cases cover clinical challenges faced by perioperative echocardiographers, including disorders of the aorta, left ventricle, and right ventricle; valvular heart disease; congenital heart lesions; catheter and device placement; and unsuspected masses and thrombi. A companion website contains the fully searchable text plus echocardiographic video clips for each case.
