Catheter positions in congenital cardiac malformations
RM Taketa, DJ Sahn, AL Simon, SJ Pappelbaum and WF Friedman
Biplane cineangiocardiograms were examined from a population of patients
with diverse forms of congenital heart disease and examples were selected
to illustrate catheter positions which may help define and elucidate the
anatomy of simple and complex cardiac lesions. Familiarity with the
appearance of these typical and atypical catheter positions may be of
considerable aid in the course of hemodynamic study and in the evaluation
of cineangiocardiograms. The editors suggest that each figure be evaluated
as an unknown before reading the caption.
