Pulmonic regurgitation pulmonary angiography
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Pulmonary angiography may play a role among patients with TOF repair having pulmonary regurgitation.
Pulmonary angiography
Pulmonary angiography
- In PR, opacification of the right ventricle is noticed following the injection of contrast into the pulmonary artery due to the regurgitant jet.
- Pulmonary angiography may play a role to follow up patients who undergo repair for tetrology of Fallot to assess for pulmonary regurgitation (PR).[1]
- Coronary angiography: Unsuitable anatomy among 4.4% US cohort poses a risk of potential coronary artery compression during TPVI.[2] CT/magnetic resonance angiography (coronary artery) can give an idea of the distance between the coronary artery and conduit. Selective coronary angiography with a non-compliant balloon inflated in the RVOT is recommended prior to attempted prior to Transcatheter Pulmonic Valve Implant (TPVI).[3]
