Surface echocardiographic imaging of small children is routinely successful in defining anatomical details and Doppler flow patterns with even the most complex congenital cardiac malformations. However, in larger children or adults, imaging is frequently limited. A recent expansion of the role of echocardiography is intraoperative epicardial imaging. Epicardial and postoperative imaging, however, have significant limitations. To avoid some of these limitations, transesophageal echocardiography has increasingly been used in the arena of congenital heart disease. The more recent development of small sized gastroscopic probes has allowed transesophageal echocardiographic assessment of congenital heart disease in children down to newborn size. As detailed studies of individual lesions are reported, it has become clear that the mere presence of a congenital heart defect is not an indication for transesophageal echocardiography in most children if imaging can be accomplished by surface examination. However, transesophageal echocardiography may be indicated for the intraoperative or postoperative assessment of that defect, particularly when repair has been difficult or is known to be associated with significant residual abnormalities. Cardiac structures encountered with horizontal and vertical imaging plane transducers have been described and should be completely familiar to the examining echocardiographer.
