| Popis: | Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has gained widespread clinical acceptance as a cardiovascular imaging technique.1 Its reported accuracy and ease of performance may make TEE the procedure of choice for the evaluation of thoracic aortic aneurysms.2 The safety of this procedure has been well demonstrated, and serious complications have rarely been noted.3,4 We report an unusual case in which an aortic root aneurysm with a DeBakey type I dissection ruptured during a TEE procedure, resulting in cardiac tamponade and death. |
