4. • CT Angiography is the gold standard for non-
invasive imaging of coronaries
• On ECHO – PSAX at base
• Size and initial course
• TEE better
• What if not seen…..

12. • Coronary artery fistula
Abnormal connection b/w coronary artery and
another blood vessel or chamber
16. • PLAX view - VSD and overriding of Aorta
PSAX view - extent and size of VSD, RVOT
50 % rule

21. TRASPOSITION OF GREAT VESSELS
• RV -----> Aorta
• LV -----> Pulmonary artery
• Easiest way to identify is SC 4-C (in children)
• In adults –
- PSAX
- A4C

34. Postoperative assessment in a TGA includes
• Myocardial dysfunction or regional wall motion
abnormalities (RWMA)
• Any residual defects (VSDs)
• Pulmonary hypertension
• Neoaortic valve regurgitation, neoaortic root dilatation
• Supravalvar aortic stenosis
• Supravalvar and branch PA stenosis.
35. TRICUSPID ATRESIA
• Imperforate TV
• Hypoplasia of RV
• Inter atrial communication (m.c. PFO)
• Normally developed MV and LV
• A4C , Doppler study, PLAX
Greater the over-riding of aorta , more is the subvalvular PS as septum is shifted more anteriorly
A 23-year-old patient post repaired Tetralogy of Fallot. (a) Parasternal long axis view demonstrating dilated RV, overriding aortic valve with a VSD patch. (b) Apical 4 chamber view showing dilated, apex forming RV. (c) Parasternal short axis view showing free PI. (d) Continuous wave Doppler of the RVOT showing free PI and no pulmonary stenosis
Parasternal short axis view in TGA demonstrating the LCx coronary artery arising as a branch from RCA from Sinus 2 and coursing posterior to the pulmonary artery to reach the left atrioventricular groove. Note the LAD coronary artery arising from its respective sinus (Sinus 1).
Anterior vessel arching posteriorly and posterior vessel bifurcates --- Diagnosis of TGA established
Subcostal coronal view showing VA discordance along with parallel arrangement of great arteries.
Parasternal long-axis image of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with ventricular septal defect.
Because admixture of arterial and venous blood is mandatory for survival
Left Anterior and superior to pulmonary valve
A common sequeal of L-TGA is dev. Of systemic (right) ventricular dysfunction with dilation and hypokinesia
Association with TV into LA is also common
