Overview

Retrospective analysis compares transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac CT angiography outcomes in patients post-arterial switch operation.

Key Points

  • CT detected pulmonary artery stenosis in 31 patients, indicating its higher diagnostic capability compared to TTE.
  • TTE provided incomplete pulmonary assessment in 23.4% of cases, highlighting its limitations for thorough evaluations.
  • Evaluation of CT showed a strong correlation between left pulmonary artery angle and aortic root dimensions, implying anatomical interdependence.
  • Complete pre-intervention assessment with CT was achieved in all cases, showing its essential role in post-surgical follow-ups.
