ABSTRACT The formation of thrombus after Fontan operation is a lifethreatening situation. The clinical manifestations by the patient may not reflect the true diagnosis of thrombosis. Transesophageal echocardiographic evaluation is an option to delineate the vena cava anastomosis and the Fontan conduit in different views. We used transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to detect the thrombus site prior to surgery and guided for a successful removal of thrombus. The successful surgical revision of the anastomosis was confirmed by TEE. How to cite this article Das S, Ladha S, Airan B.
