Transesophageal Echocardiography in Congenital Heart Disease

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has gained wide acceptance as a new diagnostic technique in adult acquired heart disease because of its relatively non-invasive nature and its high image quality compared with transthoracic echocardiography. With the introduction of smaller
transesophageal probes, the use of TEE to display cardiac anatomy and assess surgical repair in infants and children with complex congenital heart disease has become possible. This new book provides an authoritative introduction to all aspects of the procedure. It will be invaluable to all
paediatric cardiologists and adult cardiologists who wish to use TEE in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with congenital heart disease. It will also be of interest to cardiac surgeons and anaesthetists who use TEE in the perioperative period.
