This probe features a smaller, flexible design and high-spatial and temporal resolution, enabling detailed views of intracardiac structures and real-time imaging crucial for complex diagnosis, planning interventional and surgical procedures. We used this new probe in pediatric cases (weight between 4.5 and 6 kg) with complex congenital heart disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In double-outlet right ventricle or in Taussig Bing anomaly the new 3D TEE probe enabled detailed assessment of ventricular septal defect and its relations with tricuspid valve apparatus, and provided details of mitral valve leaflets not detectable by the transthoracic approach, even in small children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These cases highlight the probe\u2018s ability to provide detailed anatomical information, enhancing surgical planning and outcomes.
