Is there any role for computed tomography imaging in anticipation functional status of adults late after total cavopulmonary connection? Retrospective evaluation.

CONCLUSION: Our study showed considerable association between conduit measurements with the functional status, time after the procedure and age of adult patients who underwent TCPC in childhood. These findings support more extensive use of CT in patients after TCPC examination with measurements of the SVC, IVC and the conduit. PMID: 31584036 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
