چکیده

We present a method of imaging patients with surgically corrected transposition of the great arteries using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and we describe the findings from a typical case. Cardiac magnetic resonance is superior to other imaging methods for patients with complex congenital heart diseases, both for establishing the initial diagnosis and for subsequent follow-up after surgical therapy.

Role of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Postoperative Follow-Up After the Arterial Switch Operation for Transposition of the Great Arteries.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) plays a major role in the evaluation of patients with transposition of the great arteries, especially during follow-up after surgical intervention such as the arterial switch operation (ASO). It is recommended in recent guidelines that cardiovascular MR should be integrated in the routine evaluation of all postoperative patients with transposition of the g...

سپتوستومی دهلیزی با راهنمایی اکوکاردیوگرافی: گزارش هشت بیمار

Background: Balloon atrial septostomy is an emergent procedure in pediatric cardiology. Nowadays, most patients in need of the procedure have acceptable outcomes after surgical repair. Thus, it is important to perform this procedure as safe as possible. By performing early arterial switch operation and prostaglandin infusion, the rate of balloon atrial septostomy has markedly decreased. Howeve...
