Structured PICO

What is the role of roentgenologic studies in the diagnosis of congenital tricuspid atresia?

P
Population
8 cases of congenital tricuspid atresia
I
Intervention
Roentgenologic studies (conventional roentgenograms and angiography)
O
Outcome
Diagnosis of congenital tricuspid atresia and detection of pulmonic stenosis

Angiography is essential for the definitive diagnosis of congenital tricuspid atresia, while conventional roentgenograms are useful for detecting associated pulmonic stenosis.
