Highlights of Transesophageal Echocardiography During Interventions for Adult Congenital Heart Disease

J Clin Med. 2024 Nov 20;13(22):6995. doi: 10.3390/jcm13226995.

Abstract

Significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease have transformed patient outcomes, leading to an expanding adult congenital heart disease population. Many of these adults require lifelong procedural interventions, frequently performed in catheterization labs under the guidance of echocardiography. This review explores the transesophageal echocardiographic aspect in key catheterization-based procedures.

Keywords: adult congenital heart disease; imaging; transcatheter procedure; transesophageal echocardiography.
