Abstract
Echocardiography, or cardiac ultrasound, is a modality that readily lends itself to periprocedural imaging: the portability, lack of radiation, noninvasive, or minimally invasive nature of this modality is ideal for the pediatric population. Traditionally, one considers transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) as the mainstay of intraoperative imaging; however, intracardiac, epicardial, and even transthoracic imaging have important roles in the operating room and/or catheterization laboratory. Even the smallest babies benefit from TEE in the operating room with miniaturization of echo technology, but epicardial echocardiography provides information in those even too small for the microprobes.
