The Miniaturized Multiplane Micro-Transesophageal Echocardiographic Probe: A Comparative Evaluation of Its Accuracy and Image Quality

Background The initial experience with the miniaturized multiplane micro-transesophageal echocardiographic probe (MTEE) reported high-quality diagnostic imaging in small infants. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy and image quality of the intraoperative MTEE with the pediat...
