Abstract

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is frequently used to evaluate adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) for shunts and thrombus due to its superior spatial resolution and decreased acoustic interference compared with transthoracic echocardiography. Transesophageal echocardiography is central to the evaluation and guidance of procedures in the catheterization laboratory, particularly with novel transcatheter interventions such as transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve repair, valve-in-valve interventions, and left atrial appendage occlusion. This chapter highlights the indications and contraindications to a TEE in the adult patient, approaches to sedation, and common applications of TEE in adults with CHD.
