Diagnosis of persistent truncus arteriosus by two-dimensional echocardiography: a case study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two-dimensional echocardiography of a patient revealed overriding of the large aortic trunk which bifurcated above the semilunar valve, suggesting persistent truncus arterious. This diagnosis was confirmed by cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography. Surgery and autopsy also confirmed the accuracy of the two dimensional echocardiographic findings. Two-dimensional echocardiography is thus valuable in diagnosing persistent truncus arteriosus.

Two-dimensional echocardiography in infants with persistent truncus arteriosus.
Two-dimensional echocardiography was used to study a consecutive series of 13 infants with persistent truncus arteriosus. In all a single great artery with the long upward course characteristic of the aorta was shown. This great artery could be identified as a persistent truncus arteriosus by the recognition of a branch arising from its ascending part (10 out of 13) or of more than three semilu...
متن کاملDiagnosis of truncus arteriosus in first trimester of pregnancy using transvaginal four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound.
We present our experience of using transvaginal three/four-dimensional (3D/4D) color Doppler with glass-body rendering mode and spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) software to construct an image of persistent truncus arteriosus in the first trimester of pregnancy. There have been numerous reports on the antenatal diagnosis of truncus arteriosus using two-dimensional (2D) grayscale echocardi...

Nine patients with a clinical presentation suggestive of truncus arteriosus were examined by echocardiography. Subsequent intracardiac studies including cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography divided this group into five patients with truncus arteriosus and four patients with other congenital heart diseases. In all patients with proven truncus arteriosus, it was possible to identify only...

متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of complete atrioventricular septal defect with truncus arteriosus.
Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a rare cardiac anomaly constituting less than 1% of all congenital heart defects. Its association with complete atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) is extremely unusual and only 12 cases diagnosed postnatally or postmortem have been reported so far. We describe the first case of truncus arteriosus with AVSD to be diagnosed prenatally by fetal echocardiography.
