Assessment of Aortic Root in Tetrology of Fallot by Multislice Computed Tomography
Aya Mohamed Abdelwahab
Abstract:Background: Tetralogy of fallot (TOF) is the most prevalent cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD), affecting three out of every 10,000 births. TOF is linked to conal malseptation and lack of rotation, result in failure of the union of the conal and ventricular septa and anterior malalignment of the conal septum, producing the classic tetrad of findings. This work aimed to assess the role of ECG-gated multislice computed tomography (MSCT) in assessing conal malseptation in TOF by measuring the aortic root's c… Show more
