摘要：

We report 3 patients who sustained intrathoracic esophageal perforations due to transesophageal echocardiography encountered during the past 2 years. Lack of suspicion of this complication led to delay in diagnosis. Surgical management led to survival of all 3 patients. (C) 2001 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
