Abstract:Given the increased need for mechanical circulatory support and
subsequent development of right ventricular assist devices (RVAD),
appropriate imaging needs to be described to facilitate care in patients
with cardiogenic shock and heart failure. We present three cases in
which the upper esophageal aortic arch short axis (UE AA SAX) view on
transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was utilized to effectively image
RVADs: to confirm normal positioning, to detect and guide repositioning,
and to visualize malfunctio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
