Abstract EN
Endoscopic ultrasound is a diagnostic and therapeutic technique used in specialized centers for patients that have undergone digestive procedures.
This technique enables highly precise real-time imaging of the digestive tract wall and surrounding organs.
Endoscopic ultrasound is also useful in patients with cardiovascular diseases such as atrial fibrillation.
In patients with contraindication for transesophageal echocardiography due to high risk of esophageal bleeding or complications that may require immediate intervention, endoscopic ultrasound may be a safer option for visualizing atrial chambers to rule out the presence of left atrial appendage thrombi before cardioversion.
