ABSTRACT Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for pediatric congenital heart disease has become a standard of care in most institutions in the USA and across Europe. Advances in technology have facilitated the safe use of this tool in patients as small as 2.5 kg and have proved invaluable in guiding surgical repair of congenital cardiac lesions as well as guiding anesthesia management for cardiac and noncardiac procedures. This article describes a systematic approach to image acquisition in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Specific congenital heart lesions are also described with an emphasis on intraoperative TEE data acquisition and analysis. How to cite this article Navaratham M, Punn R, Tacy TA.

ABSTRACT Complex congenital heart diseases (CHD) often present as multiple cardiac lesions. The presence of one anomaly should stimulate the physician to perform a comprehensive assessment and look for other associated anomalies.1 Multimodal imaging may be necessary to diagnose such associated lesions as single imaging may occasionally miss them. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are complimentary to each other. Routine use of TEE during intraoperative period may help us to refine diagnosis, detect the missing components and guide effective surgical repair. We present one such case where diagnosis and management were optimized by multimodal imaging. How to cite this article Kumar B, Madhavan JS, Puri GD, Rana SS.
