Three‐dimensional echocardiography allows for presurgical planning for congenital heart disease, reduces radiation using fusion imaging in catheter interventions, and provides guidance during catheter interventions and lead placements or extractions. The purpose of this review is to detail applications of three‐dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in presurgical planning of congenital heart disease, guidance of catheter interventions such as fusion imaging, and guidance in electrophysiology lead extractions or placements.
