Abstract:
Objective To study the sectional anatomy of the heart with esophagus to provide the sectional anatomic data for transesophageal echocardiography(TEE). Methods Hearts with esophaguses were sectioned at the angles of 0?, 45?, 90? and 135? relative to the human cross section by frozen section technique. The sectional anatomic structures were observed and analyzed. Results A total of 140, 130, 44 and 130 slices were obtained at the angles of 0?, 45?, 90? and 135?, respectively. The anatomic structures of the key slices were described. Conclusion The thin sections of the heart can clearly display the anatomical details of the inner structures of the heart, which may play an important role in the clinical application of TEE.
