Abstract
Abstract
Background
The aim of this work is to evaluate the validity of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in assessment of pulmonary arteries and ventricular functions with conotruncal anomalies in the pediatric population.
Results
Between March 2018 and December 2019, 42 patients ranging in age from 6 months to 18 years and diagnosed with conotruncal anomalies by echocardiographic examination were submitted for cardiac MRI followed by assessment of their morphological (intra- and extra-cardiac anatomy) and functional parameters. The most common conotruncal anomaly was tetralogy of Fallot which represented 45% of the cases. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) compared to echocardiography showed 46% agreement in the assessment of right ventricular volumes and function. There was only 37% agreement between echocardiography and MRI in delineation of MAPCAS.
Conclusion
CMR provides a powerful tool, giving anatomical and physiological information that echocardiography and catheterization alone cannot provide in conotruncal anomalies.
