“…The continued use of TEE monitoring during the intraoperative period has changed the role of the anesthesiologist from that of a service provider to an integral part of the decision-making process in the operating room [13]. Therefore, TEE has a significant impact on surgical decision-making and treatment [14].…”

A 60-year-old man with a 12 cm mass involving the right kidney and a renal vein tumor thrombus extending to the intrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC), was scheduled for a radical nephrectomy concomitant with an IVC thrombectomy. During the operation, through intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) monitoring, a migrating tumor thrombus was promptly detected. After the operation, a filling defect in the posterior basal segmental or subsegmental pulmonary arteries of the lower lobe of the right lung was observed on chest computed tomography. Intraoperative TEE provides additional information to help guide the surgical intervention and medical treatment.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a rapidly evolving technology with several potential applications in the diagnosis and management of cardiac disease. Recently, 3D printing (i.e. rapid prototyping) derived from 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has become possible. Due to the multiple steps involved and the specific equipment required for each step, it might be difficult to start implementing echocardiography-derived 3D printing in a clinical setting. In this review, we provide an overview of this process, including its logistics and organization of tools and materials, 3D TEE image acquisition strategies, data export, format conversion, segmentation, and printing. Generation of patient-specific models of cardiac anatomy from echocardiographic data is a feasible, practical application of 3D printing technology.

“…It's now part of the decision-making process, providing determinant information; TEE can change the surgical procedure, anesthetic plan, confirm a suspected diagnosis, assist in positioning of intravascular devices and may extend far for additional follow-up. Intraprocedural TEE can be divided in surgical-based procedure and catheter-based procedure [1][2][3][4].…”
