Selection of optimal cardiac phases for ECG-triggered coronary CT angiography in pediatrics

Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) has been increasingly used in pediatric cardiology over the last decade, and has progressively replaced cardiac catheterization in nearly all situations involving coronary arteries among children with congenital heart diseases (CHD), such as abnormal left or right coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery, suspected interarterial or intramural coronary artery, coronary artery branch crossing the infundibulum before surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot, and follow-up after surgical reimplantation of coronary arteries [1].
