Case ReportsHemodynamic monitoring using a single-use indwelling transesophageal echocardiography probe in an unstable patient after open-heart surgery.

Novel miniaturized single-use transesophageal echocardiographic probe has been scarcely used in this clinical setting. ⋯ The novel hemodynamic monitoring device described here appears valuable to help identifying severe post-operative complications and guide acute care.
