Implication

May aid visualization of key lesions in pediatric CHD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does subxiphoid cross-sectional echocardiography improve anatomical imaging compared to chest wall-based imaging in infants and children with congenital heart disease?

P
Population
100 children and infants with various forms of congenital heart disease studied prospectively before cardiac catheterization
I
Intervention
Subxiphoid cross-sectional echocardiography using a mechanical sector scanner
C
Comparator
Chest wall-based imaging (including four-chamber apical views)
O
Outcome
Adequacy of anatomical imaging of cardiac structures and lesions (e.g., right ventricular outflow tract, septae, subaortic stenosis)surrogate

Subxiphoid cross-sectional echocardiography is a valuable adjunct to standard chest wall imaging, offering superior visualization of specific anatomical structures like the right ventricular outflow tract and septae in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease.
