CT-Scan and MRI

The first two volumes of this series on “Congenital Heart Defects – Decision making for surgery” have been dedicated to the “Most common defects (Volume 1)” and to “Less common defects (Volume 2)”. The schema utilized for these two books was the same, with each chapter devoted to a single malformation, with incidence, morphology, associated anomalies, pathophysiology, diagnosis (including clinical pattern, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, echocardiogram, and cardiac catheterization with angiography), indications for surgical treatment, details of surgical techniques, potential complications and literature references.
