摘要：
Elective cardioversion of atrial fibrillation may be complicated by systemic thromboembolic events, presumably caused by embolization of preexisting left atrial (LA) thrombi.1-4 Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has proven to be a very sensitive means of detecting LA thrombi5 and may therefore provide a means of screening patients before cardioversion. We report our initial experience with TEE as a screening test before elective cardioversion in patients who were referred for the purpose of excluding the presence of LA thrombus before cardioversion. © 1993.
