AbstractDespite some limitations, TEE is a sensitive and specific diagnostic technique for the diagnosis and evaluation of aortic plaque. TEE provides a semi-invasive, portable, and widely available means for assessing aortic plaque and associated embolic risk in patients with embolic events, thus guiding rational therapeutic choices. Improvement in tissue characterization and three-dimensional capabilities may further improve the diagnostic accuracy of TEE for aortic plaque detection and evaluation.
