Department of Pediatrics, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston.

Four children with cor triatriatum underwent intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. Two patients had cor triatriatum alone and two had associated complex congenital heart disease. Transesophageal echocardiography provided optimal imaging of these defects and provided unique information that facilitated surgical management in these children.
