Popis:	Complex congenital heart diseases (CHD) often present as multiple cardiac lesions. The presence of one anomaly should stimulate the physician to perform a comprehensive assessment and look for other associated anomalies.1 Multimodal imaging may be necessary to diagnose such associated lesions as single imaging may occasionally miss them. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are complimentary to each other. Routine use of TEE during intraoperative period may help us to refine diagnosis, detect the missing components and guide effective surgical repair. We present one such case where diagnosis and management were optimized by multimodal imaging. How to cite this article Kumar B, Madhavan JS, Puri GD, Rana SS.
