Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is increasingly used for diagnosis and monitoring in a number of clinical areas for assessment of cardiac structure and function. The use of TEE is well established in cardiac surgery but in non-cardiac surgery, TEE is recommended in preexistent cardiovascular disease causing hemodynamic compromise or in the presence of refractory hemodynamic instability or hypoxemia. Real-time 3-dimensional TEE provides exceptional images and unique views which have been pivotal in the success of minimally invasive surgery and transcatheter interventions. Although TEE is a relatively safe procedure, guidelines for standardized training, techniques and research protocols are recommended by most august bodies. The use of simulation-based learning has aided training by providing structured training opportunities and sufficient training time. TEE is a semi-invasive, portable, safe and readily available imaging modality that is likely to see an upsurge due to innovations in technology, miniaturization and an increase in minimally invasive procedures.

“…RT-3D TTE and TEE are currently available for visualization of abnormal morphology, assessment of chamber size and ventricular function, and image-guided interventions in the congenital heart disease population [51,[64][65][66][67]. RT-3D TTE provided superior detail of the mural leaflet and anterior commissural abnormalities for the left atrioventricular valve compared with 2D echocardiography.…”

“…RT-3D TTE provided superior detail of the mural leaflet and anterior commissural abnormalities for the left atrioventricular valve compared with 2D echocardiography. 3D TEE has been reported to be useful in the perioperative setting to detect residual defects after closure of ASD or for guiding percutaneous interventions involving the atrial septum [65]. However, 3D TEE imaging is limited to adolescent or adult patients because the 3D TEE probe is essentially equivalent in size to the existing 2D TEE adult probe.…”

The first human three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) was reported in 1992. Ever since, technologic advances have revolutionized this echocardiographic imaging modality. Today, real-time 3D TEE (RT-3D TEE) represents a novel clinical and intuitively educational perioperative cardiovascular imaging tool. In addition, live 3D TEE adds significantly to the perioperative communication between cardiac surgeons and echocardiographer. Its unique ability of real-time acquisition and accurate identification of precise cardiac pathology, together with its ability to promptly quantify 3D datasets using builtin software, has greatly helped to transition 3D TEE into the standard of perioperative care. The recent development of percutaneous procedures such as valve implantations and repairs also benefit from 3D TEE quantification and guidance. This article reviews the available 3D TEE acquisition modes, newest advances in 3D technology, and the utility of 3D TEE in different settings of cardiac procedures.

“…Although this was an important breakthrough, the transducer used to obtain the images could not be steered in the third dimension, namely elevation. Since then, dramatic technological advances have facilitated the ability to perform live three-dimensional echocardiographic scanning, including the ability to steer the beam in three dimensions, and to render images in real time 4 …”
