Coronary artery stenosis in asymptomatic child after arterial switch operation: detection by transthoracic colour-flow doppler echocardiography.
(2008) In Acta Pædiatrica 97(3). p.376-378- Abstract
- Arterial switch operation (ASO) has become the definitive anatomical correction for transposition of great arteries (TGA). Left coronary artery (LCA) ostial stenosis was detected by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) as a flame like colour flow diastolic signal and coronary flow reserve (CFR) was low, 1.3. It was treated successfully by a drug-eluted stent. These findings could be diagnostic for coronary ostial stenosis. Conclusion: Coronary artery stenosis can be detected with colour Doppler echocardiography. Assessment of CFR provides information of the physiological significance of the coronary stenosis.
