Aortography in infants.

Making a diagnosis of a patency of a ductus arteriosus is often difficult in the first few months or first year of life.

Retrograde Brachial Aortography

Patent ductus arteriosus and coarctation of the aorta are common causes of congestive heart failure in infancy, yet are more difficult to diagnose than in later life. Retrograde brachial aortography is a relatively simple method of establishing the diagnosis with assurance. A description of the technic is followed by a discussion of the normal aortogram in infancy. A relatively large series of ...
