A decade after cardiac surgery was established, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was developed and used to evaluate perioperative cardiac performance. It has become an invaluable tool to provide real-time information in the cardiac operating room. TEE provides practical and useful information prior to insertion as well as after placement of the device. Additionally, during episodes of device malfunction or hemodynamic instability, TEE can be extremely useful in defining the etiology of the problem. As ventricular assist devices (VADs) have undergone evolution in design and as more VADs are being implanted, the development of specific indications for TEE use during device placement is a relevant issue. Formal guidelines for use of TEE during VAD insertion are yet to be adopted or implemented, but for now TEE remains an essential tool for managing this patient population.

Cardiac masses are complex clinical conditions that frequently pose diagnostic challenges in cardiology practice. These masses can form within heart chambers or near the pericardium and are generally categorized as either non-neoplastic or neoplastic. These latter are further classified into benign and malignant (primary and secondary or metastatic).

Background: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of tricuspid spectral Doppler (E/A) and tissue Doppler parameters (E/E') to diagnose right ventricular diastolic dysfunction (RVDD) in comparison to American Society of Echocardiography (ASE criteria) in pediatric tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients after surgical repair.
Methods: This prospective, observational study was done at a tertiary care hospital involving 40 pediatric TOF patients aged less than 2 years who underwent complete intracardiac repair with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Echocardiographic observations were made using a pediatric transesophageal echocardiography probe after surgical repair in the post-CPB period.

Objectives: We aim to assess right ventricular function in patients undergoing mitral valve repair using trans-esophageal echocardiography, focusing on the predictive value of right ventricular longitudinal strain compared to other echocardiographic measures.
Design: Retrospective analysis.
Setting: Toronto General Hospital.
