Possible TLE complications detected in TEE: TEE images—transgastric views, the formation of blood clot (red arrow) in the course of self-limiting bleeding into the pericardial sac (A), massive bleeding into the pericardial sac resulting in cardiac tamponade (B). TEE images—bleeding into the right pleural cavity with visible blood clots (asterisks), image blurring caused by electrocoagulation during thoracotomy (arrows) (C). TEE images—low esophageal view—injury to the tricuspid leaflets and papillary muscle rupture resulting in massive tricuspid regurgitation (color Doppler): anterior leaflet (red arrow), ruptured head of the papillary muscle (green arrow), fragment of the septal leaflet (blue arrow) (D).
