| Abstract: | Using a phased-array, wide angle sector-scanner, 2-dimensional echocardiograms were obtained in 3 patients with persistent truncus arteriosus. Type I was found in 2 patients and type II in 1 patient. In the patient with type II truncal valve stenosis was also present. Using a combination of short-axis views at the cardiac base, with 30 ° superior transducer angulation and parasternal long-axis views, the truncus arteriosus and the pattern of pulmonary arteries were demonstrated in each case. |
