Objective To evaluate different angiocardiographic techniques of congenital heart disease in children. Methods 11045 pediatric patients with congenital heart disease were performed angiocardiography using cut film, cine film and digital subtraction angiography(DSA) equipments. Different angiocardiographic techniques were used. Results The diagnostic accuracy of cut film with conventional AP and lateral views was 80.5%,the diagnostic accuracy of cine film with angulated views was 90.0% and the diagnostic accuracy of DSA using non-ionic contrast medium with angulated views was 96.5%. Conclusion Dynamic picture angiography with digital subtraction using non-ionic contrast medium under rapid injection is the key for claiming the high quality imaging diaguosis of congenital heart disease in children.

Objective To evaluate the clinical diagnostic value and limitation of MRI and contrast enhancement MRA (CE-MRA) in congenital heart disease of children. Methods Three hundred patients with congenital heart disease underwent CE-MRA. 173 were confirmed by operation. The results of MRA and CE-MRA were compared with operation data. Results 196 (86.0%) intracardiac malformation including septal defect and valve anomaly were diagnosed correctly by MRI within 228 abnormalities which were confirmed by operation. 101 (96.2%) extracardiac malformation including great vessels stenosis and anomalous connection were diagnosed correctly by MRI and MRA within 105 abnormalities which were confirmed by operation. Conclusion MRI and CE-MRA are very accurate diagnostic method for extracardiac malformation. CE-MRA is the best sequence for congenital heart disease.

Objective To report 6 cases of congenital heart disease with high origin of coronary artery and to evaluate the imaging method for diagnosis of congenital high origin of coronary artery. Methods Six patients with congenital high origin of coronary artery underwent angiocardiography ,echocardiography ,and 2 patients also underwent magnetic resonance examination. All 6 cases were confirmed by operation. Results All 6 cases were congenital high origin of right coronary artery. Angiocardiography made correct diagnosis in all 6 cases; MRI made the correct diagnosis in 1 of the 2 cases; echocardiography made 1 correct diagnosis. Conclusion Correct diagnosis of congenital high origin of coronary artery was very important for patients with congenital heart disease. Angiocardiography was a very reliable imaging method and MRI can play an important role in preoperative diagnosis of congenital high origin of coronary artery.

Objective To report the results of balloon catheter dilation in 13 infants with anastomotic stenosis after surgical correction of esophageal atresia. Methods Thirteen cases of anastomotic stenosis after surgical correction of esophageal atresia were enrolled, age ranging from 3 to 10 years. Barium esophagography before balloon dilation showed the diameter of esophageal stenosis ranging 1 to 3 mm and the stenosis was dilated by using balloons of 6 to 12 mm diameter. Results All the 13 cases obtained complete resolution of the stenosis after dilation for twice or thrice. There was no esophageal perforation or other complications with a period of clinical symptomless of 6 to 30 months. Conclusions Ballon catheter dilation is a simple, safe and reliable method for treating anastomotic esophageal stenosis in infants.

Objective To evaluate the role of interventional therapy in Wilm's tumor, renal vascular lesions and ureter stricture in children. Methods Thirty-eight cases were analysed, including 18 cases of Wilm's tumor treated with preprocedural chemotherapy and embolization through renal artery, and 13 cases of unknown-reason hypertension with selective renal arterial angiography for venous blood renin including undergone some patients PTA. Six cases of ureter stricture were dilated with balloon and 1 with hematurea by small aerial embolization. Results After embolization, Wilm's tumors showed reduction in vascularization and reduction in size too. The surrounding tissue of the tumor had a clear demarcation with the normal tissue, decreasing the dissemination to blood and distal metastasis. Renal vascular hypertension was clearly diagnosed and treated, and the increase of renin was helpful to the diagnosis of unknown-reason hypertension. And the obstruction of ureter was improved. Conclusions Interventional therapy is feasible in the application of urinary system diseases with great significance clinically.

Objective To evaluate the application and safety of angiography in infants.Methods Eighteen infants with diagnosis of clinics,CT and MRI as hemangioma, hepatic and renal tumor and cerebral vascular diseases were undertaken digital subtraction angiography(DSA). Results All the cases were found to have anomalous lesions including hemangioma racemosum in 3 cases, capillary hemangioma in 1, hepatoblastoma in 3, renal Wilm's tumor in 1, renal rhabdomyosarcoma in 1, liver arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in 1, Galenic arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in 1,Sturge-Weber Syndrome in 1, AVM OR AVF in the craniofacial region in 2 and pre-operation cerebral angiography of PNET in 2. Conclusions DSA in infants is safe and reliable with extensive clinical application.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of MRI on fetal congenital limb deformities.Methods Sixteen pregnant women,aged from 22 to 40 years (average 29 years) and with gestation from 22 to 39 weeks (average 29 weeks) were studied with a 1.5 T superconductive MR unit within 24 to 48 hours after ultrasound studies. Acquisitions consisted of coronal, sagittal, and axial slices relative to the fetal brain, spine, thorax, abdomen, especially limbs using 2D FIESTA sequences. Prenatal US and MR imaging findings were compared with postnatal diagnoses (4 fetuses) or autopsy (12 pregnant women,13 fetuses). Postnatal evaluation included US, MR imaging, computed tomography, and physical examination. Results Of the sixteen pregnant women (15 with a single fetus and 1 with twin fetuses) ,17 fetuses were found. Those limb deformities of sixteen pregnant women included congenital both upper extremities amelia (1 case), sirenomelia sequence (1 case), micmmelia (5 cases, 1 of which were twins),bilateral clenched hands (2 cases), right pelydactyly (1 case), simple right ectrodactyly (1 case), right dactylolysis(1 case), simple club foot (2 cases), hydrocele spinalis with club foot (2 cases), 1 of the 2 cases with bilateral clinodactyly. In 14 of 16 cases, the diagnoses established by MR imaging were correct when compared with postnatal diagnosis, and prenatal MR diagnosis was inaccurate in 2 cases. Conclusion Prenatal MRI is effective in the assessment of congenital limb deformities of fetuses, it can yield information additional to that obtained with US, and further correct US diagnosis.
