Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is frequently used in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Although transnasal TEE is being used in various settings in the adult population, there are no descriptions of its use intraoperatively in patients with CHD. This report describes the successful use of transnasal TEE after multiple unsuccessful transoral attempts in an adolescent male undergoing subaortic stenosis repair.
