Evaluation of coronary artery anatomy in patients with tetralogy of Fallot by two-dimensional echocardiography.
A major coronary artery crossing the right ventricular outflow tract in patients with tetralogy of Fallot interferes with a transannular patch, and preoperative detection of this artery is important. We evaluated the ability of two-dimensional echocardiography to define noninvasively the coronary artery anatomy in 37 consecutive patients (age range, 1 day to 18 years; mean age, 40.9 months). Th...
متن کاملAngiographic diagnosis of anomalous coronary artery in tetralogy of Fallot.
OBJECTIVE To obtain angiographic views in tetralogy of Fallot that can show whether or not an anomalous coronary artery passes anterior to the right ventricular outflow tract. DESIGN (a) A 10 year retrospective review of all patients who underwent repair of tetralogy of Fallot up to December 1990; (b) a prospective study of 30 children undergoing routine cardiac catheterisation. PATIENTS AN...
متن کاملDetection of right pulmonary artery thrombosis by two-dimensional echocardiography.
of an inadequate data base (the point of my column). I am sorry that the word "pressure" was inadvertently substituted for the word "resistance," but what has that to do with the relationship between pulmonary vasodilator treatment and patient outcome? To state that the level of PVR correlates in untreated patients with survival and, hence, to imply that reducing PVR by drugs improves survival,...
متن کاملPossible detection of atherosclerotic coronary calcification by two-dimensional echocardiography.
Using two-dimensional echocardiography, a technique was developed for digitizing reflected acoustic signals and performing variable signal processing. This resulted in accentuation of differences in focal reflectivity of target tissues and improved ultrasonic tissue characterization. Study of a learning population of 200 patients demonstrated abnormal specular reflections from the proximal left...
متن کاملDetection of left main coronary artery stenosis by transesophageal color Doppler and two-dimensional echocardiography.
Although transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography can detect dilation of the coronary arteries, the reliability of this technique in the detection of coronary artery stenosis is still doubtful. The purpose of this study was to test the ability of newly developed biplane transesophageal color Doppler and two-dimensional echocardiography in the detection of left main coronary artery stenosi...
