Abstract: | Delineation of arch abnormalities is difficult by conventional 2-D echocardiography and MRI has been the investigation of choice. 3-D echocardiography is increasingly used in congenital heart disease for both functional anatomy and morphology. This case report demonstrates that 3-D echocardiography can be used in delineating arch anomalies, which can avoid further imaging that needs a general anaesthetic. |
