Overview

Retrospective study compares echocardiography and CT angiography in infants with congenital heart defects, highlighting diagnostic strengths.

Key Points

  • CT angiography significantly outperformed echocardiography in identifying extracardiac anomalies, enhancing surgical outcomes.
  • Outcomes showed CT angiography improved overall accuracy over echocardiography in the assessment of double-outlet right ventricle.
  • Transthoracic echocardiography was more sensitive in detecting small ventricular septal defects, highlighting its utility.
  • The combined use of both imaging modalities supports better surgical planning for infants with complex congenital heart conditions.
