Colour Doppler flow mapping in the diagnosis of traumatic ventricular septal defect.
The use of colour Doppler flow mapping allows noninvasive diagnosis and gives haemodynamic information on the severity of ventricular septal defects. We describe the case of a man with delayed presentation of a traumatic ventricular septal defect in whom colour Doppler flow mapping permitted conservative management after accurate noninvasive diagnosis.
