Transesophageal Echocardiography: Views and Corresponding Anatomical Structures (II)
Transesophageal Echocardiography: Views and Corresponding Anatomical Structures (II) The previous series discussed the anatomical structures corresponding to each view of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Referring to domestic and foreign guidelines and combining with work experience, we will now talk about the corresponding cardiac anatomical structures of transesophageal echocardiography. For beginners, colleagues in cardiac centers or those […]
Transesophageal Echocardiographic Views and Their Corresponding Anatomical Structures (I)
Transesophageal Echocardiographic Views and Their Corresponding Anatomical Structures (I) Preface Chatting with an old friend about transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), he thought that TEE is much more difficult than transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). However, this is not the case. TEE is usually targeted, and its acoustic windows are generally much clearer than those of TTE. The previous […]

How to Choose Ultrasound Equipment: A Complete Buying Guide
How to Choose Ultrasound Equipment: A Complete Buying Guide When selecting a suitable ultrasound device, priority should be given to image quality, portability, and intended clinical use. For most general practices, a mid-range portable ultrasound device equipped with Doppler imaging and a high-frequency probe offers the best balance of performance and cost-effectiveness¹. Key considerations include […]
Practical Step 9: Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Access Intervention
Practical Step 9: Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Access Intervention With the increase in the number of hemodialysis patients, vascular access dysfunction (such as stenosis, thrombosis, and poor maturation) has become a common clinical challenge. In the past, such problems were often managed through empirical judgment or reliance on angiography. Nowadays, ultrasound-guided hemodialysis vascular access intervention is gradually […]
Practical Step 8: Identification and Management of Hemodialysis Complications
Practical Step 8: Identification and Management of Hemodialysis Complications Hemodialysis is a crucial treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease to sustain life. However, various complications often arise during the dialysis process. Timely identification and proper management are key to ensuring dialysis safety and improving quality of life. Ultrasound technology plays an irreplaceable role in […]
Practical Step 7: From Imaging to Action – Sustaining Long-Term Patency of AVG
Practical Step 7: From Imaging to Action – Sustaining Long-Term Patency of AVG In the care of hemodialysis access, artificial blood vessels serve as a vital alternative. Compared with autologous arteriovenous fistulas (AVF), arteriovenous grafts (AVG) involve more complex puncture procedures with higher requirements. Additionally, due to their shorter service life and greater susceptibility to […]
