Real-time three-dimensional ultrasound - a valuable new tool in preoperative assessment of complex congenital cardiac disease.
Year: 2003
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Evaluating complex cardiac defects in small children preoperatively requires multiple diagnostic procedures including echocardiography, and also invasive methods such as cardiac catheterisation, computer-tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. We assessed the complex anatomy of the atrioventricular valves in atrioventricular septal defect using bedside real-time three-dimensional echocardiography and comparing these results to the anatomic findings at the time of operative intervention.
