    AbstractWe report the diagnosis of intracoronary air embolism by transesophageal echocardiography in 2 patients undergoing open heart surgery. The sudden appearance of inferior wall akinesis with increased brightness of the area immediately after removal of the aortic cross clamp and spontaneous resolution of the abnormalities support the diagnosis of intracoronary air embolism.
