Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography using high-resolution biplane 7.5 MHz probes with continuous-wave Doppler capability in infants and children with tetralogy of Fallot.
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.
