A study of congenital cardiac and extracardiac vascular anomalies in paediatric patients as detected by MDCT
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
Background:Clear understanding of anatomy is needed to plan effective management of congenital heart disease. MDCT provides an excellent means to detect a number of extracardiac vascular anomalies and allows accurate and fast noninvasive characterization of extracardiac vascular anatomy. Material and Methods: A total of 73 cases were investigated to evaluate the role of CT angiography in different encountered congenital vascular anomalies of pediatric age groups using MDCT. Results: A total of 158 intracardiac and 148 extracardiac anomalies were detected by MDCT.Aortic arch anomalies were the commonest in extracardiac and Inlet and Outlet VSD, Pulmonary stenosis and Tetralogy of Fallot were the common intracardiac anomalies. Discussion: Images obtained with MDCT scanners accurately depicted thoracic cardiovascular anatomy in exquisite detail. The MDCT plays its role ina noninvasive assessment of extracardiac systemic and pulmonary arterial and venous structures and post-treatment complications.
