Review from previous edition The third edition of Practical Perioperative Transoesophageal Echocardiography, for all intents and purposes, should be considered the current "gold standard" transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) handbook. I recommend to all experienced echocardiographers who are looking for a handy reference guide for anatomy, pathology, and placement of prostheses and devices.
