“…Examination of CA using TPU needs further validation from other centers. In addition to assessment of CA stenosis, TPU technique is useful for detecting stent patency in the ICA, carotid body ganglioma, distal extracranial segments of vertebral arteries, and neck vessel flow reversal in severe aortic regurgitation …”

Following cardiac disease and cancer, stroke continues to be the third leading cause of death and disability due to chronic disease in the developed world. Appropriate screening tools are integral to early detection and prevention of major cardiovascular events. In a carotid artery, the presence of increased intima‐media thickness, plaque, or stenosis is associated with increased risk of a transient ischemic attack or a stroke. Carotid artery ultrasound remains a long‐standing and reliable tool in the current armamentarium of diagnostic modalities used to assess vascular morbidity at an early stage. The procedure has, over the last two decades, undergone considerable upgrades in technology, approach, and utility. This review examines in detail the current state and usage of this integrally important means of extracranial cerebrovascular assessment.

“…The ability to visualize majority of the components of the thoracic aorta‐aortic valve and LVOT, ascending aorta and aortic arch in one view will facilitate rapid and reliable echocardiographic guidance for interventional and surgical procedures involving the aorta. While the origin of the aortic arch branches can be visualized, full examination of the neck vessels requires the use of other, well described, imaging planes, and techniques from upper esophageal and transpharyngeal windows 15–18 …”

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) imaging of the aorta requires multiple views and is limited by its inability to visualize the distal ascending aorta and proximal aortic arch ("blind spot"). Recent advances in ultrasound technology allow improved imaging of cardiac structures. In this study we describe the ability to image the aortic valve, entire ascending aorta, and aortic arch in one view, the "expanded aortic view" obtained from a novel proximal transgastric window. In 22 patients, an expanded aortic view was acquired with the transducer positioned in a proximal transgastric position using new generation ultrasound system with a TEE probe that incorporates increased range of mobility. Fluoroscopy imaging was performed to confirm the position of transducer in relation to the cardiac anatomy. In 7 of 22 patients, the ability to achieve this view was also tested using an older echocardiography system. The novel proximal transgastric plane allowed reliable images of the aortic valve, ascending aorta including the "blind spot," and aortic arch in a single view-the expanded aortic view.

“…Several authors have described techniques to identify the great vessels using TEE 3 , 6–10 . Using either a biplane or omniplane transducer, Katz et al were able identify the left subclavian artery in 72% and both the left common carotid and subclavian artery in 62% of unsedated patients.…”

“…By slowly withdrawing the probe from the upper esophagus into the pharynx they were also able to visualize the right subclavian artery and the right common carotid artery. In addition, branches of the left subclavian artery including the vertebral artery, thryocervical trunk, and left internal mammary artery could be identified 7–9 . In one patient, they were able to identify a large atherosclerotic plaque that caused severe stenosis of the left subclavian artery 12 …”

Isolated Subclavian Artery Aneurysm: Evaluation by Transesophageal Echocardiography

A 50-year-old man was evaluated following a motor vehicle accident. Chest X-ray showed a widened mediastinum. Transesophageal echocardiography was helpful in identifying the left subclavian artery and in demonstrating an isolated subclavian artery aneurysm. The TEE findings correlated well with the results of chest CT. Using TEE for the identification of the aortic branches in patients with chest trauma may be critical.
