TEE - short-axis view of the left ventricle by the transgastric route. RV: right ventricle, LV: left ventricle.
This view is obtained by pushing the probe in the stomach from the long-axis view (film 7), while tilting it forwards. This gives the equivalent of the parasternal short-axis view by the transthoracic route (film 2). It is important to pass by the cords of the mitral valve and to obtain a left ventricle as spherical as possible. Progressive straightening of the probe allows the left ventricle to be viewed at the level of its most apical segments.
