Three-dimensional rotational angiography of a patient with pulmonary atresia intact septum and coronary fistulas.
Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3D-RA) was used to image the coronary arteries of a 2(1/2)-year-old boy with pulmonary atresia intact septum and coronary fistulas. As seen in the accompanying video clips and stills, this imaging method is advantageous in depicting the coronary anatomy. Furthermore, less contrast is used for patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography with 3D-RA compared with biplane angiography.
