title: Isolated partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection: Diagnostic value of suprasternal color flow imaging and contrast echocardiography.
abstract: Isolated partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is frequently missed even when patients present with mild right ventricular enlargement. We describe the value of imaging from suprasternal window with color flow and ultrasound contrast echocardiography in aiding the diagnosis.
