Computed Tomographic Angiography in the Assessment of Congenital Heart Disease and Coronary Artery Anomalies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Advances in medical and surgical care have significantly increased the numbers of children and adults living with congenital heart disease (CHD). This chapter will discuss anatomical and imaging considerations for the major CHD lesions. Additionally, the role of computed tomography in the planning of percutaneous and surgical repairs will be addressed, as well as the use of this modality to monitor for possible post-intervention complications. Finally, clinically significant coronary anomalies will be reviewed.
