Computed Tomographic Angiography provides Reliable Coronary Artery Evaluation in Infants with Pulmonary Atresia Intact Ventricular Septum

Evaluate use of coronary CTA as initial assessment for determining Right Ventricle Dependent Coronary Circulation (RVDCC) in neonates with Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum (PA IVS). Retrospective review of cases with coronary CTA and compare with available catheter angiography, pathology, surgical reports, and outcomes from Mar 2015-May 2022. In our cohort of 16 patients, 3 were positive for RVDCC, confirmed by pathologic evaluation, and there was concordance for presence or absence of RVDCC with catheter angiography in 5 patients (4 negative for RVDCC, 1 positive).
