Background: We compared the differences in the effects of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) on hemodynamics, inflammatory stress response, and pain mediators in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Methods: 204 patients with severe AS treated with...
