Trans-Esophageal Echocardiography for Pediatric & Congenital Conditions

Trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an advanced imaging technique that provides highly detailed and precise views of the heart and its structures. In this procedure, a specialized probe is gently passed through the esophagus (food pipe), which lies close to the heart, allowing clearer images than standard echocardiography. Dr. Ronak Sheth performs TEE for children and patients with congenital heart conditions to evaluate complex cardiac abnormalities, valve function, septal defects, and blood flow patterns with exceptional accuracy.

With a strong focus on safety and comfort, the procedure is carried out under appropriate sedation and continuous monitoring, especially in pediatric patients. Dr. Ronak Sheth ensures a child-friendly and carefully supervised environment to minimize discomfort and anxiety. TEE is particularly useful during pre-surgical planning, intraoperative guidance, and post-procedure assessment, helping in precise diagnosis and effective treatment decisions for congenital heart diseases.
