Transesophageal Echocardiography in Pediatric Congenital Cardiac Surgery and Catheter Intervention

This extensively revised textbook provides a comprehensive, modern review of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in pediatric and young adult patients with cardiac disease, including those with congenital heart disease (CHD). Highlighting the vital contribution of TEE to improved clinical outcomes and long-term survival, the book details evolving technologies and applications—including three-dimensional TEE—positioning this imaging modality at the forefront of pediatric and CHD care. Written by leading experts, it is the only contemporary text focusing exclusively on the clinical application of TEE in children and all patients with CHD, providing a thorough understanding of its use across structural, functional, perioperative, and interventional contexts.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive coverage of TEE applications in pediatric and congenital heart disease patients.
• Explains TEE physics, instrumentation, structural and functional evaluation, and specialized techniques.
• Focuses on technical considerations for both pediatric and adult patients with congenital and acquired cardiovascular conditions.
• Utilizes the segmental approach to diagnosis and provides detailed evaluation of the CHD spectrum.
• Includes richly illustrated chapters, case studies, and supplementary videos.
• Covers perioperative and interventional applications of TEE.
• Features end-of-chapter multiple-choice questions and answers to reinforce learning.
