Does two-dimensional echocardiography with contrast injection reliably identify anomalies of systemic venous return in patients with proven anomalies?
Two-dimensional echocardiography with peripheral venous contrast injection is a reliable non-invasive method for identifying anomalies of systemic venous return prior to invasive procedures.
Foale et al. (1983) conducted an observational in Anomalies of systemic and coronary venous return (n=23). Two-dimensional echocardiography with peripheral venous contrast injections was evaluated on Correct identification of anomalous systemic venous return. Two-dimensional echocardiography combined with peripheral venous contrast injections correctly identified anomalies of systemic venous return in all 23 patients with angiography-proven diagnoses.
