Does cross-sectional echocardiography allow for accurate non-invasive diagnosis of interrupted aortic arch between the left carotid and subclavian arteries?
Cross-sectional echocardiography provides an accurate non-invasive method for diagnosing interrupted aortic arch, facilitating early prostaglandin treatment and planned catheterization.
Smallhorn et al. (1982) conducted a cross-sectional in Aortic arch interruption between the left carotid and subclavian arteries (n=7). Cross-sectional echocardiography was evaluated on Echocardiographic findings of aortic arch interruption. Cross-sectional echocardiography accurately diagnosed aortic arch interruption between the left carotid and subclavian arteries in 7 infants, providing a non-invasive method for early recognition.
