Surgically corrected congenital heart disease: utility of 64-MDCT.

摘要

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to review the CT appearance of postoperative morphology and complications after surgical correction of congenital heart anomalies. CONCLUSION: Echocardiography is typically the initial imaging technique used for congenital heart disease; however, some thoracic regions are beyond the imaging scope of echocardiography, particularly after surgical revision. This article shows, through a series of illustrative cases, the usefulness of 64-MDCT in these patients.
