Abstract
Purpose. Analysis of the own experience with multislice computed tomography (MSCT) in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) in children in the first years of life and determine the effectiveness of this technique.
Materials and methods. We analyzed MSCT data of patients with CHD (n = 156, mean age 3,5 (2; 9,7 mo), which was conducted on a 64-slice CT scanner with a bolus of X-ray contrast.
Results. We found excellent information content of MSCT in morphometry of coarctation of the aorta, ductus arteriosus in patients before and after surgical intervention. Possibilities of the method have been presented for patients with tetralogy of Fallot and anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Pathological changes in the bronchopulmonary system were revealed in 55 patients with CHD by MSCT.
Conclusion. The use of MSCT in the diagnosis of CHD in children during the first years of life to get accurate morphometric data of the anatomy of CHD and assessment of concomitant noncardial pathology for determining treatment strategy, planning, operational correction and control of the results of surgery.
