Helping to resolve the ‘blind spot’ of
Transesophageal Echocardiograms (TEE).
A-View® Endotracheal Balloon Catheter is used to overcome the limitation of the so called ‘blind spot’ of TEE. After introduction of the saline filled catheter in the trachea, echo conduction through the trachea is enabled and the ascending aorta, aortic arch and its branching vessels can be imaged. For more information about A-View see the guide below.
