Abstract
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe-induced esophageal perforation is rare. A 67-year-old man underwent a Bentall procedure with mitral valve replacement under TEE monitoring. Two hours later, the patient had a blood-stained aspirate from the nasogastric tube. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the chest showed esophageal perforation, which was treated with the fluoroscopic deployment of covered metal stents. The patient had an uneventful recovery.
