摘要：

We report the use of transesophageal echocardiography in 3 children whose sternums remained open for several days postoperatively. In these patients transesophageal echocardiography provided critical information when transthoracic echocardiography was ineffective due to limited acoustic windows, This report points out the application of transesophageal echocardiography in children with chest wall distortion.
