Objective: To describe the role of Multi detector CT angiography (MDCT) in diagnosis and evaluation of intra thoracic major vascular abnormalities. Results: In this study the role of Multi-slice CT angiography in the evaluation of conotruncal and pulmonary venous anomalies was assessed, it enrolled 30 patients (9 males and 21 females) with an age range between 30 days - 39 years (mean age 108 months: 9 years). It included 14 patients with isolated extra cardiac vascular anomalies and 16 patients with congenital complex vascular anomalies. Conclusion: CTA provide the confident detection and exclusion of isolated extra- cardiac vascular anomalies and intra thoracic /complex intra thoracic vascular anomalies with superb anatomical description. In recent years, MSCT technology has advanced rapidly providing a major, additional, non-invasive diagnostic tool for the evaluation of congenital heart disease. |
