• W4381572310 abstract "Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) offers an invaluable, non-invasive avenue for diagnosing and managing various cardiac conditions, including atrial fibrillation (AF). As the most common cardiac arrhythmia, AF affects millions and can lead to severe complications. Cardioversion, a procedure to restore the heart's normal rhythm, is frequently conducted on AF patients resistant to medication. Due to inconclusive data, TEE's utility prior to cardioversion in AF patients remains ambiguous. Understanding TEE's potential benefits and limitations in this population could significantly influence clinical practice. This review aims to scrutinize the current literature on the use of TEE before cardioversion in AF patients. The principal objective is to understand TEE's potential benefits and limitations comprehensively. The study seeks to offer a clear understanding and practical recommendations for clinical practice, thereby improving the management of AF patients before cardioversion using TEE. A literature search of databases was conducted using the keywords Atrial Fibrillation, Cardioversion and Transesophageal echocardiography, resulting in 640 articles. These were narrowed to 103 following title and abstract reviews. After applying exclusion and inclusion criteria with a quality assessment, 20 papers were included: seven retrospective studies, 12 prospective observational studies, and one randomized controlled trial (RCT). Stroke risk associated with direct-current cardioversion (DCC) potentially results from post-cardioversion atrial stunning. Thromboembolic events occur post cardioversion, with or without prior atrial thrombus or cardioversion complications. Generally, cardiac thrombus localizes in the left atrial appendage (LAA), a clear contraindication to cardioversion. Atrial sludge without LAA thrombus in TEE is a relative contraindication. TEE before electrical cardioversion (ECV) in anticoagulated AF individuals is uncommon. In AF patients planned for cardioversion, contrast enhancement facilitates thrombus exclusion in TEE images, reducing embolic events. Left atrial thrombus (LAT) frequently occurs in AF patients, necessitating TEE examination. Despite the increased use of pre-cardioversion TEE, thromboembolic events persist. Notably, patients with post-DCC thromboembolic events had no LA thrombus or LAA sludge. The use of TEE-guided DCC has grown due to its ability to detect atrial thrombi pre-cardioversion, aiding risk stratification. Thrombus in the left atrium also signals an elevated risk of future thromboembolic events in AF patients. While atrial stunning post cardioversion detected by TEE is a significant risk factor for future thromboembolic events, further evidence is required. Therapeutic anticoagulation is essential during and post cardioversion, even if no atrial thrombus is detected. Current data recommends cardioversion guided by TEE, particularly in outpatient settings." @default.
