Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is an advanced cardiac imaging procedure used to obtain highly detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. At Khushi Heart Care & Multispeciality Clinic, TEE is performed using modern imaging technology to provide precise evaluation of heart valves, chambers, blood flow, and structural abnormalities that may not be clearly visible on a standard echocardiogram.

Unlike a conventional 2D Echo performed over the chest wall, TEE involves passing a specialized ultrasound probe gently into the esophagus. Because the esophagus lies close to the heart, this approach allows clearer and more accurate visualization of cardiac structures. TEE is particularly useful in detecting blood clots, valve infections (endocarditis), congenital heart defects, atrial septal defects, and evaluating prosthetic heart valves.

Transesophageal Echo is often recommended before certain interventional procedures, in cases of stroke evaluation, unexplained heart murmurs, or when detailed imaging is required for complex cardiac conditions. The procedure is conducted under controlled and monitored conditions to ensure patient safety and comfort, with careful pre-procedure counseling and preparation.

At Khushi Heart Care in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, TEE is performed with strict adherence to international clinical standards and infection control protocols. Patients receive expert interpretation of results along with comprehensive guidance for further management or treatment planning, ensuring accurate diagnosis and optimal cardiac outcomes.
