Comparative evaluation of microprobe versus conventional transoesophageal echocardiography for PFO closure guidance

Open Heart

Background Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure is traditionally guided by transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) under general anaesthesia, which prolongs procedure duration and increases costs and risks. A transnasal echocardiography with a microTEE-probe (microTNE) is tolerated under conscious sedation and offers an effective alternative to TEE. The aim of this study was to compare the feasibility, safety and time expenditure of PFO closure using conventional TEE versus microTNE guidance.

I frequently check the chart if I want to know more clinical context (which is crucial for accurate interpretation). But in the reading software, all I am told is that it is a 77 year old man, and that the indication is "NSTEMI." What do you think? Although not necessarily intentional, the first processing that I do when I see an ECG is to categorize as OMI or not.
