FAQs
Pediatric TEE is a specialized imaging technique used to assess the structure and function of the heart in children. Dr. Rangnekar utilizes this procedure to diagnose and manage various cardiac conditions in pediatric patients
Pediatric TEE may be necessary when additional diagnostic information is required to evaluate complex cardiac conditions in children. It is commonly used in surgical planning, intraoperative monitoring, and assessment of structural heart abnormalities.
Pediatric TEE is performed by inserting a specialized ultrasound probe into the esophagus, providing clear images of the heart structures from inside the body. The procedure is typically performed under sedation or anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
Pediatric TEE offers several benefits, including accurate diagnosis of cardiac conditions, minimally invasive imaging, real-time monitoring during surgeries, and tailored treatment planning for pediatric patients with heart disease.
