Transesophageal echocardiography: not an innocuous procedure.

W T Brinkman1, J S Shanewise, S D Clements, K A Mansour.   

Abstract

We report 3 patients who sustained intrathoracic esophageal perforations due to transesophageal echocardiography encountered during the past 2 years. Lack of suspicion of this complication led to delay in diagnosis. Surgical management led to survival of all 3 patients.
