Practice Pattern Variability in Intraoperative Echocardiography for Isolated CABG Surgery
Geographic Distribution of the percentage transesophageal echocardiography use in isolated CABG surgery across the United States between 2004 and 2016. Brightest orange corresponds to US states with the lowest percent transesophageal echocardiography use and darkest grey corresponds to the highest use. Here, North Dakota had the lowest, (11%; [95% CI: 8-14%]) and Hawaii had the highest (91%; [95% CI: 85-95%]) of transesophageal echocardiography use in isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgeries performed in the United States between 2004 and 2016.
