A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart. Unlike a standard transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), which is performed by placing the ultrasound probe on the chest, a TEE involves inserting a specially designed ultrasound probe down the esophagus (the tube that connects the throat to the stomach).
