Abstract

Mechanical complications after heart transplantation are uncommon. We describe a case of hemodynamically significant suture line obstruction that was recognized immediately after heart transplantation using transesophageal echocardiography. Transesophageal echocardiography has proved to be a powerful tool in recognizing mechanical complications in the early posttransplant period.
