Abstract:
Objective To assess the application value of juxtaposition of the great vessels in diagnosis of right atrial isom-erism( RAI) by echocardiography.Methods We retrospectively analyzed 73 patients with right atrial isomerism in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from 2010-2017.All these patients were performed by echocardiography and compu-ted tomography(CT).We used the results of CT as the golden standard.Results 73 cases of RAI were diagnosed by CT.60 cases of RAI were diagnosed by echocardiography.Juxtaposition of the descending aorta(DAO) and inferior vena(IVC) was demonstrated in all these 60 patients.29 of 60 were on the left side of the spine(39.73％).31 of 60 were on the right side of spine(42.47％).In the other 13 patients of echocardiography missed diagnosis, the arrangement of the great vessels was nor-mal in 10 cases, and inverse in 3 cases.Conclusion Juxtaposition of the great vessels is one of the most important findings in patients with RAI.It is quick and simple and has a higher application value in diagnosis of RAI.
