Transesophageal echocardiography is a useful and safe monitoring tool for guiding extracardiac conduit puncture during catheter ablation in pediatric patients with a total cavopulmonary connection.
Offers proof-of-concept for TEE-guided ablation in pediatric TCPC; leaves open need for prospective validation.

MINAMI et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in a patient with total cavopulmonary connection (n=1). Transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring was evaluated on Successful catheter insertion and ablation without major complications. Transesophageal echocardiography safely and effectively guided the transcutaneous catheter through the extracardiac conduit into the atrium for ablation in a 4-year-old with total cavopulmonary connection.
