“…Sahn et al first reported the usefulness of two-dimensional echocardiography as a technique for assessment of femoral artery complications in children post catheterization [12]. Subsequently, several studies showed the value of pulsed and color-flow Doppler for detection of peripheral vascular flow abnormalities [4,5,8,9,11,13]. In this study, these noninvasive methods were used to investigate the occurrence of femoral artery complications in children following aortic balloon valvuloplasty or coarctation balloon angioplasty.…”

“…In most patients, abnormalities in the femoral arteries were identified with two-dimensional imaging. However, color-flow mapping was extremely helpful for the detection of disturbed flow in narrowed regions of the femoral vessels and the absence of flow in completely obstructed vessels [11,13]. In addition, color-flow imaging allowed the identification of small collateral vessels surrounding regions of obstruction.…”

To assess long-term femoral artery complications after aortic balloon valvuloplasty or coarctation balloon angioplasty, we examined 19 children who were 3 weeks to 21 years old (mean 7.6 years) at the time of catheterization. Two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiographic examinations of the common, superficial, and deep femoral arteries were performed at an average of 2.0 years after balloon dilatation. Pulsatility index (PI) was calculated as the maximum velocity minus the minimum velocity divided by the mean velocity. No patient was suspected clinically of having peripheral arterial disease prior to the echocardiographic examination. Fourteen patients had normal femoral arteries. Of these, 10 had normal twodimensional and Doppler echocardiographic examinations of both femoral arteries. These patients had triphasic flow patterns (forward in systole, reverse in early diastole, forward in middiastole) and Pls of 3.7-41.6 (mean 9.5). Four of the 14 normal patients had abnormal pulsed Doppler examinations showing continuous forward flow and low PIs (1.7-3.5) reflecting residual coarctation (10-30 mmHg gradients). Five patients had abnormal femoral arteries. Of these, two had no visible obstruction by two-dimensional echocardiography and color-flow imaging but had abnormal pulsed Doppler patterns (continuous forward flow and low Pls of 2.5 and 2.9) only on the side of the balloon catheter insertion. Three of the five abnormal patients had visible obstructions by two-dimensional echocardiography and color-flow imaging and had abnormal pulsed Doppler patterns (continuous forward flow and low Pls from 1.1-3.6). One of these three had bilateral occlusions of the common femoral arteries with multiple collateral vessels; the second had occlusion of the right common femoral artery; and the third had 1-2-cm long severely narrowed segments in both common femoral arteries. All three children were <1 year old at the time of catheterization and had balloon catheter insertions in the affected arteries.Echocardiography provides a useful technique for detection of clinically unsuspected but significant arterial obstruction after balloon dilatation. Thus, echocardiographic examinations of the femoral arteries should be performed on all children after balloon dilatation, particularly those <1 year old at the time of the procedure.

“…Furthermore, the cardiovascular system assessment results, for both doppler and 2D thoracic US imaging modalities, have been validated with other diagnostic imaging techniques, such as CT [104]. Echocardiography is most commonly used to assess the cardiac chamber and establish the extent of its functionality.…”

“…Duplex or color flow Doppler ultrasound, which has been used for years in vascular imaging, [9][10][11] is based on differences in the ultrasound frequency transmitted by the probe and the signal reflected from moving blood, known as the Doppler shift. The velocity of the blood is proportional to this frequency shift and can be easily calculated.…”
