[Echocardiographic diagnosis of interrupted aortic arch in a group of 13 patients (children)].
Based on experience with the examination of 13 children with interruption of the aortal arch (IAA) the authors present an account of the basic echocardiographic (ECHO) diagnostic signs and procedures in IAA. Two-dimensional ECHO makes it possible, when a suprasternal approach is used, to assess the type of IAA. Examination from a subcostal and parasternal approach helps to detect associated heart diseases. ECHO findings correlated with angiocardiographic, surgical and necrotic findings. ECHO makes it possible to select further suitable examination methods and therapeutic procedures in this rare critical congenital heart disease.
