Abstract
Objective. To assess the value of X-ray computer tomography with intravenous contrast agents and magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosis of aortic malformations in children of the Crimean region at the stage of preoperative preparation, choice of surgical procedure and postoperative follow-up. In the Republican Children’s Clinical Hospital (Simferopol) under our supervision were 44 children with aortic pathology, who underwent cardiac surgery. All children underwent dopplerography of head and neck vessels, xray computer tomography with intravenous contrast and/or magnetic resonance imaging.
Results. Modern approaches to the visualization diagnosis of critical congenital heart defects in children are presented. The role of X-ray computer tomography with intravenous contrast agents and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of congenital aortic pathologies has been shown and a qualitative assessment of CT angiographic picture of aortic pathology was performed. This applies to the detailing of the defect anatomy, reliable morphometric indicators, diagnosis of pathology of aorta, pulmonary artery, right ventricle to assess ventricular-arterial connections and atrioventricular connections, as well as the assessment of the state of the vessels of the pulmonary circulation, bronchial tree and lung parenchyma. Our experience of using x-ray computer tomography and/ or magnetic resonance imaging in examining children with aortic pathology proves that these methods can provide more valuable diagnostic information than traditional methods, which determines their significance.
