Role of Cardiac CT in Preopertaive and Postoperative Evaluation of Congenital Heart Defects in Children

Pediatric Cardiac CT in Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract

Cardiac imaging plays a key role in the accurate diagnosis of pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD). Cardiac CT is increasingly being used for the evaluation of cardiovascular structures in infants and children with CHD. The prevalence of patients with congenital heart disease is rapidly increasing as a result of improved outcomes of surgical treatment strategies. The development of the current cardiac computed tomography imaging technologies facilitates the diagnosis with a less invasive intervention and low radiation exposure. A thorough understanding of complex spatial relationships between anatomical and defective structures may avoid unexpected findings and therefore may reduce operative time, morbidity, and mortality. Cardiac computed tomography also serves as a crucial imaging modality in the postoperative follow-up of repaired congenital heart disease.
