Cardiovascular Computed Tomography Angiographic Assessment of Simple Cardiac Shunts in Adults
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is increasingly detected in cardiac imaging. Effective management of CHD requires thorough imaging of the heart and circulation, extending beyond simple anatomical identification. Cardiovascular computed tomography angiography (CCTA) provides rapid imaging, high spatial resolution, and precise visualization of three-dimensional vascular structures, while offering strong multi-planar reconstruction capabilities at sub-millimeter resolution and a wide field of view. These features enable CCTA to overcome the challenges faced by other imaging modalities. Thus, this review highlights the advantages of CCTA in evaluating simple cardiac shunts in adult congenital heart disease pre- and post-intervention.
