Abstract
With technical advancements, including high frequency, multiplane transducers, digital acquisition and display, and left-sided contrast agents, TEE is emerging as a promising method for evaluating coronary artery disease. Visualization of proximal coronary artery stenoses and coronary artery anomalies is already possible. Research studies using TEE measurement have contributed to understanding coronary artery physiology and may prove to be a valuable clinical tool in the future.
