Deep Neck Space Infection as a Complication of Transesophageal Echocardiogram for Atrial Flutter Ablation.
Transesophageal echocardiography is a relatively safe procedure; however, there are rare complications associated with it. Multiple attempts during TEE can lead to injury of hypopharyngeal or parapharyngeal wall leading to an infection. Here, we describe a case of hypopharyngeal-parapharyngeal abscess resulting from multiple TEE attempts during cardioversion leading to a prolonged hospital course.
