Transoesophageal Echocardiogram (TOE)

A transoesophageal echocardiogram (TOE) is a procedure performed under sedation that looks at your heart’s valves and chambers using a flexible ultrasound probe passed through your mouth and into your oesophagus

A TOE is usually used to assess problems with your heart valves and can show whether it is possible to repair or replace that valve.

A TOE is often used to guide the cardiologist during procedures to close holes between the chambers of the heart.

Often prior to a cardioversion, a TOE is performed to check for blood clots in the chambers of the heart.
