We describe the utility of transesophageal echocardiography in a patient undergoing emergent closed mitral commissurotomy. Two-dimensional images provided an assessment of valve morphology and mobility while Doppler echocardiography was used to monitor the occurrence of mitral regurgitation and changes in valve gradient and area.
