title: Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography using high-resolution biplane 7.5 MHz probes with continuous-wave Doppler capability in infants and children with tetralogy of Fallot.
abstract: This study reports the role of biplane transesophageal echocardiography in monitoring surgical repairs of tetralogy of Fallot. In our patients, 3 repairs were revised based on transesophageal echocardiography and continuous-wave Doppler results, and intraoperative management was altered in 2 others.
