Abstract
We report the use of transesophageal echocardiography in infants after cardiac operations while supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. In all patients transesophageal echocardiography provided valuable information when standard transthoracic echocardiographic evaluation was limited by poor acoustic windows. This report describes the application of transesophageal echocardiography during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation after cardiac operations.
