Endoscopy
Being overweight or having certain lung diseases can interfere with images of the heart when the transducer is placed on the chest wall. Certain conditions of the heart are better seen with TEE, such as mitral valve disorders, blood clots or masses inside the heart, a tear of the lining of the aorta, and the structure and function of artificial heart valves. #mayo #mayoclinic #endoscopysurgery #endoscopy #airbnb #vrbo
