Imaging complex congenital heart disease — functional single ventricle, the Glenn circulation and the Fontan circulation: A multimodality approach

摘要: Abstract Patients with functional single ventricle heart disease undergo a series of palliative surgeries, typically culminating in Fontan-type circulation. For the past three decades, primary cardiac imaging modalities used to follow such patients have been echocardiography and catheter angiography. With advent rapid development magnetic resonance computed tomography over decade, these offer novel techniques capabilities evaluate This article reviews surgical management patient ventricle, then explores role various this setting an emphasis on newer techniques.
