Figure 1.
Two-chamber sagittal view on cardiac computed tomography showing septal ridge separating the left atrium into two chambers, one draining the pulmonary veins and the other one connecting to the mitral inflow, consistent with Cor triatriatum sinister.
Figure 2.
(A) Cardiac computed tomography axial image and (B) volume-rendered 3-dimensional image showing anomalous origin of left main from the right coronary cusp. There is no evidence of malignant features including lack of intera-arterial or intramural course.
Figure 3.
Cardiac computed tomography, coronalimage showing extensive mediastinal and peribronchial collateral circulation in a patient with coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula.
Figure 4.
Volume-rendered imaging with cardiac computed tomography and 3-dimensional depiction of secundum atrial septal defect (arrows).
Figure 5.
Three-chamber sagittal view on cardiac computed tomography showing a patient with D-transposition of the great arteries after arterial switch surgery. The morphologic right ventricle is connected to the aorta, hence it is the systemic ventricle. The pulmonary veins were baffled to the right atrium (asterisk).
Figure 6.
(A, B) Steady-state free precession (SSFP) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) sequence, 4-chamber view, showing large secundum atrial septal defect (ASD, asterisk, 2.0 × 1.5 cm). (B) Corresponding phase-contrast imaging at same plane showing left-to-right shunting across the defect. (C, D) SSFP CMR sequence, sagittal view, again showing ASD with corresponding phase-contrast imaging at same plane. (D) There was a dilated right ventricle (RV), with an RV end-diastolic volume of 261 mL, and normal RV systolic function, with an RV ejection fraction of 52%. The net Qp:Qs in this case was 1.5:1.
Figure 7.
A patient with repaired tetralogy of Fallot/pulmonic stenosis with pulmonic valvotomy and transannular patch presented with worsening shortness of breath. (A) Cine steady-state free precession (SSFP) computed magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) sequence 4-chamber view showing severe right ventricular (RV) enlargement (RV end diastolic volume of 165 mL/m2). (B) Cine SSFP CMR sequence sagittal oblique view at the pulmonic valve level showing transannular patch. (C) Phase-contrast CMR imaging at the same location as (B) in diastole showing pulmonic regurgitation (quantitatively, the regurgitant volume was 132 mL and regurgitant fraction was 78%).
Figure 8.
Sagittal view, 3-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography of the aorta showing severe coarctation (A, arrows) with post-stenotic dilation of the descending aorta. In addition, there is extensive collateral circulation in the chest originating from the descending thoracic aorta (B, arrows).
