Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical value of dual‐source CT (DSCT ) in assessing adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) .Methods The data in 29 ACHD patients with DSCT were retrospectively analyzed .Results Among 29 cases ,the major‐ity suffered from two or more cardiovascular malformations ,in which 20 cases had intracardiac malformations ,including 4 cases (13 .79% ) tetralogy of Fallot ,6 cases (20 .69% ) were atrial septal defect ,4 cases(13 .79% ) were bicuspid aortic valve (13 .79% ) and 8 cases (27 .58% )were ventricular septal defect ;19 cases had extracardiac malformations ,in which 3 cases(10 .34% ) were co‐arctation of the aorta ,4 cases (13 .79% ) were patent ductus arteriosus ,3 cases (10 .34% ) were transposition of the great arteries and 5 cases (17 .24% ) were anomalous pulmonary venous connection .Conclusion DSCT could not only clearly demonstrate the cardiovascular malformations in ACHD patients ,but also conduct the observation on the lung ,trachea and bronchia ,which can pro‐vide detailed anatomic information for surgery .
